A committee of the Friends of Old Annville that provides Main Street decorations and hosts family friendly events in Annville during holidays and beyond.

Who we are

Celebrate! Annville was established in 2023 as a committee of the Friends of Old Annville. We foster community spirit in Annville during holidays and beyond. Our initial priority was to return holiday decorations to Main Street. This was accomplished in 2025 when 42 street pole decorations (wreaths and snowflakes) were installed along W Main Street during the holiday season. In 2026, we purchased eight flower baskets for the intersection of Routes 422 and 934.

We continue to host two beloved Annville traditions: Santa's Arrival at the Annville Free Library and the Tree Lighting at 50 W Main Street. We also annually host a Pets & Peeps Photos with Santa event at the Annville Train Station, a spring street clean-up day, and a Bunny Hop Egg Hunt at the Quittie Creek Nature Park. We hope to add more activities given sufficient volunteers and resources.

Join us!

Our committee meets on the second Monday of each month at 6 PM at the Annville Train Station, 150 S. Moyer Street, Annville, PA, 17003. Join our Facebook group.
