On Thursday, December 1, 2016 residents celebrated at the Annual Kearny UEZ Tree Lighting Festival outside Town Hall on Kearny Avenue. The festival has become a popular town-wide tradition and the kickoff of the holiday season in Kearny. Mayor Alberto G. Santos was on hand with Deputy Mayor Anthony Capitti and Town Council Members Carol Jean Doyle, Susan McCurrie, Eileen Eckel, Marytrine De Castro and Albino Cardoso to light the Kearny Holiday Tree and herald the arrival of Santa Claus. A Sesquicentennial 2017 Commemorative Ornament created to celebrate the Town of Kearny’s 150th Anniversary was unveiled by Mayor Santos and ornament sponsors. The limited edition minted keepsake in solid brass with a 24K gold finish was available for $20.
