CAMBRIDGE – Groove City Black Heritage and Culture Group last week announced its Fourth Annual Christmas on Pine event on Dec. 9 from 1-7 p.m. The event will take place on the 600 block of historic Pine Street.

Christmas on Pine is a community-wide celebration that brings together residents and visitors of all ages to enjoy the holiday season. Attendees can look forward to a variety of fun-filled activities for the whole family; with fire pits to roast marshmallows, hot chocolate including a Christmas market of vendors, music and a live performance by St. John’s Holiness Church N’Praize Youth Choir at 5:30 p.m.

Children will have the opportunity to take a picture with Santa and receive gifts, as well as participate in games and crafts. Food vendors will be on-site, serving treats and warm drinks to keep attendees cozy.

The highlight of the event will be a Christmas light display.

"We are delighted to host this annual event once again and are excited to see the community come together to celebrate the Christmas season," said Veronica Taylor, president and founder of GCBHCG. "We have a fantastic lineup of activities and attractions planned, and we can't wait to see everyone having fun and spreading some festive cheer."

Christmas on Pine is free and open to the public. Attendees are also encouraged to donate a gift to the group’s Senior Christmas Drive, dress warmly and bring their holiday spirit.
