Chestnut Hill marked the annual Circle of Trees to welcome the holiday season on Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Woodmere Art Museum. In addition to the traditional tree lighting, guests were treated to music, snacks, Santa and fire trucks. The event was organized by the Chestnut Hill Community Association and the Chestnut Hill Business Improvement District. Volunteers at the event took a moment to pose with Santa.
