Who we are

Celebrate! Annville was established in 2023 as a committee of the Friends of Old Annville. We foster community spirit in Annville during holidays and beyond.  Our initial priority was to return holiday decorations to Main Street. This was accomplished in 2024 when 42 street pole decorations (wreaths and snowflakes) were installed along W Main Street during the holiday season.  

We continue to host two beloved Annville traditions: Santa's Arrival and the Tree Lighting. We also annually host a poinsettia sale, a Photos with Santa event at the Annville Train Station, a spring street clean-up day, and a Bunny Hop Egg Hunt at the Quittie Creek Nature Park. We hope to add more activities given sufficient volunteers and resources.
