Since 1953, the Westfield Area Y Men’s Club has held its annual Christmas Tree Sale at the Elm Street field. All proceeds are donated to local charities and non-profit organizations. The event is run by club members from Westfield, Scotch Plains, Mountainside and Cranford, along with many volunteers from area organizations and local youth.
The trees will be delivered and lot set up between November 17th– 23rd. This is no small feat, as there are approximately three tractor-trailer loads of trees per year!
Opening day is Saturday, November 24th and ends on Saturday, December 22rd, or until the trees run out. Lot hours are 9:00 am-6:00 pm Saturday and Sunday and 5:00 – 9:00 pm Monday-Friday.
