UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Arboretum at Penn State invites the campus and surrounding community to welcome the holiday season at its annual Winter Celebration on Friday, Dec. 13.

From 5 to 7 p.m. visitors may stroll through holiday displays, listen to seasonal music, take photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and buy a cup of hot cocoa.

Two a cappella groups, the State High Chamber Singers and Penn State’s Pennharmonics, will perform a concert of popular and holiday tunes on the event lawn starting at 5:30 p.m.

All activities will take place in the Arboretum's H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens at the corner of Bigler Road and East Park Avenue on the University Park campus.
