Salem’s 2020 Holiday Tree Unveiled at Lappin Park
About
Salem Main Streets and the City of Salem proudly announce the completion of the 2020 Holiday Tree installation at Lappin Park. While we couldn’t gather together to light the tree this year, the tree remains a seasonal landmark that reflects the resilience and unity of our community.
The tree was generously donated by the O’Brien Family, delivered by Iron Tree Service and Spencer Contracting, and elegantly decorated by Gigi Gill in partnership with the City of Salem tree department. A programmable LED topper, crafted by Joey Nicotera of Retonica, adds a modern glow to the display. The tree’s sponsorship came from local businesses including Gigi Gill, Sis Williams/Dick Simard Barbershop, Morning Glory B&B, John Keenan & Kara McLaughlin, Gulu Gulu Cafe, Flying Saucer Pizza Company, Gypsy Moon, Harrison’s Comics, Vampfangs, and Brian Kennedy.
The LED topper’s installation was made possible through the Salem Winterlude initiative—a collaborative effort between Salem Main Streets and Creative Collective, funded by Bench Consulting’s “Winter Places” program and the Barr Foundation.
