Description

Events at Fitler Square On most days Fitler Square is a quiet refuge from the noise and activity of urban life. But several times each year the Square is itself a hub of activity. Highlights include the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony, the Easter Egg Hunt, and the Spring Fair. And recently, the Square has provided its neighbors with a Farmer's Market that runs from mid-May to early November. The Spring Fair includes a flea-market, as well as refreshments and live music. Proceeds from the Spring Fair provide revenue for the maintenance of the park and funds for events such as the Christmas tree lighting , as well as funds for additions and improvements to the park. The annual Christmas tree lighting is especially favoured by children of all ages, and brings neighbors together for cider, cookies and cakes, caroling, and a visit by a very busy Saint Nick. The annual Easter Egg hunt helps the neighborhood greet the Spring with expansive displays of the flowers of the season, refreshments for all, and a tradition that children 18 months to 6 years of age can enjoy. Beginning in the Spring of 2003, Fitler Square has provided the location for a Farmer's Market each Saturday morning. Sponsored and organized by the Pennsylvania Food Trust, the Farmer's Market brings meat and produce from small area farms to the tables of local residents.
