“Wait a minute… Christmas in July? On Cape Cod? You bet! The Harwich Chamber of Commerce has collaborated once again to support our community and the Harwich Health Department and Our People’s Fridge. New this year we are presenting Christmas in July Festival of Trees—Lighting the Way to a Healthier Community!
For many years, our Festival of Trees has been a beloved holiday tradition held in December. This year, we’re excited to bring the spirit of giving a little earlier and invite ALL of our Chamber members to join us for a special summer celebration!
This festive silent auction fundraiser will support Our People’s Fridge, located at the Harwich Community Center, helping provide accessible food resources to members of our community in need.
We’ve invited our Chamber members to help us create a magical display by donating items to be placed under our themed trees. Our Christmas Elf has outdone herself- Gift baskets, gift cards, products, experiences, services, specialty items, and creative contributions of all kinds are welcome! Every donated item helps make the silent auction more exciting while supporting an important local cause.
The decorated trees and auction items will be displayed at the Harwich Chamber of Commerce, where everyone can bid on their favorite items throughout the event- which runs the entire month of July.
So grab your flip-flops, find your holiday spirit, and help us spread a little Christmas cheer… with sunshine! Visit HarwichCC.com for details!”
It captures the fun of celebrating Christmas in the middle of summer while highlighting the community impact and call for donations.
