Commerce`s Christmas Tree Goes Up

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas for the Delaware Valley and one of the surest signs that Thanksgiving has passed is the 25-year-old tradition of lighting up the largest Christmas tree in the region at Commerce Bank's headquarters in Cherry Hill, NJ.

It's a holiday tradition that started a quarter century ago.

The region's largest Christmas tree went up over the weekend, as it always does, just after Thanksgiving. Workers set up the 70-foot-tall Spruce tree at the Commerce Bank headquarters in Cherry Hill.

In all, more than 30,000 lights will adorn the tree and the lighting ceremony is set for this Saturday, December 6.
