Coral Gables, FL – November 19, 2015 – Shops at Merrick Park in collaboration with the Battier Take Charge Foundation hosted its annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Open to the public, the event featured live entertainment by the Coral Gables Senior High School Choir, the Miami Royal Ballet and DJ Risi. Attendees captured memories in photo booths, got creative at Pottery Barn Kids’ cookie decorating station and enjoyed retailer discounts and giveaways. Santa Claus even gave a special appearance, pulling up on a fire truck as Merrick Park counted down to its traditional tree lighting.
