Bronxville Lights Up The Town With Music, Hot Chocolate, Candy Canes, Santa, Frosty, and More: See Photos
By Zahabia Brainch
Dec. 11, 2019: Leonard Morange Square was bustling with music and excited children for Bronxville's festive Light Up the Town celebration on December 6.
Friends and neighbors enjoyed hot chocolate from the Bronxville Diner, candy canes from the Girls Scouts, and Christmas carols sung by Bronxville's ShaCapella group, which includes talented signers from Bronxville High School.
Mayor Mary Marvin gave opening remarks and introduced the guests of honor, Bronxville Girls' Field Hockey State Champions.
"Girl Power going on in the Village," said Marvin.
The Field Hockey coach introduced the team captains and said that all 21 members of the team played with "talent, heart, and grit and showed the real Bronco spirit."
Sunday Lades, one of the team captains, spoke with MyhometownBronxville about being state champions and being honored at Light Up the Town.
"It is an honor, and we are all extremely excited. We have always represented our hometown, and I think we displayed the kind of people Bronxville produces - - hardworking, passionate, and fearless student athletes."
The crowd then did a countdown, and the team lit up the tree as everyone cheered.
The night ended with special visitors - Santa and Frosty The Snowman!
The squeals and claps from delighted children were awesome.
As the Director of the Bronxville Chamber, Shanon Gangemi, said, "Light Up the Town is a special, festive, and fun way to kick off the holiday season in Bronxville."
We agree.
Below are pictures from Light Up the Town. Enjoy!

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
