We're partnering with the PS/IS 78Q PTA and Frank Ottomanelli's by the Water to present a holiday event and tree lighting on December 10 from 3:30 to 5:30 in Hunter's Point South Park!

Kids can get a picture with Santa, make ornaments, and visit face painters during the event - which includes a heated tent for those who need a break from the cold. The PS/IS 78Q chorus will perform holiday carols, and Frank Ottomanelli's will offer seasonal drinks and food, and will also have a mailbox for letters to Santa.

The event will end with lighting a menorah and the lighting of the park's Christmas Tree at sunset, which will be set up at Frank Ottomanelli's for the season.
