City of Syracuse Begins Search for Clinton Square Tree

Norway Spruce Will Be Central Feature in Annual Holiday Celebrations in Downtown Syracuse

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The City of Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation, and Youth Programs announced today that it has begun its annual search for a tree to serve as the centerpiece of the Clinton Square holiday display. The tree will take center stage for the annual Home for the Holidays celebration and tree lighting ceremony on Friday, November 23.

The tree needs to be a Norway Spruce that measures at least 45 feet tall. To facilitate removal, it must be located in the front yard, away from power lines, and near a main access road.

If members of the community have a tree they would like to submit for consideration, they are encouraged to contact the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Youth Programs at (315) 473-4330.
