This winter, the trees on Commonwealth Avenue at Charlesgate Park are shining emerald green to spotlight the intersection of the Emerald Necklace and Commonwealth Avenue Mall!
Complementing the annual lighting of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, ten Japanese zelkova trees will be lit at Charlesgate and adorned with green lights to distinguish Charlesgate as the connecting point between the Commonwealth Avenue Mall and the rest of the Emerald Necklace, and to raise awareness of the ongoing efforts to restore Charlesgate Park.
The lighting ceremony will take place Thursday, December 1 at approximately 8PM around 15 Commonwealth Avenue, in conjunction with the lighting of the Commonwealth Avenue Mall. The green Charlesgate lights will be located along the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Charlesgate East, and will remain lit each night through March 2023.
