Friday night, in downtown lancaster the christmas tree, just like every year…
This can only mean one thing. “Tuba Christmas”!
As part of the tree lighting celebration, an ensemble of roughly 30 to 40 tubas and sousaphones play festive and seasonal carols.
I do not know the history of this tuba ensemble, but they have been giving a christmas season concert at Penn Square since I was a kid.

After taking in the celebration at the square i did some window shopping.
(above is the display window at Hagars, and a display in the Heritage found.)

Friday was also the first friday of the Month. This means Art galleries and museums open to the public at night. The “First Fridays” gallery openings started in downtown only a couple years ago. The dowtown tree lighting ceremony has been intergrated nicely..
I will be posting more on “First Fridays” at a later time.

To End the night, me an my cohorts did grab a bite at the “Starving Artists Cafe “, a small sandwich shop that has joined into the Downtown Lancaster’s art culture… Along with the Art Academy and “First Fridays”".
