Clearview Common was crowded for Light-Up Night festivities.

Neither snow nor rain nor, well, sleet hindered the 2015 version of Mt. Lebanon’s Light-Up Night.

Unseasonably mild temperatures helped draw a crowd to the Uptown Business District, especially in Clearview Common, which was packed for a program that culminated in the ceremonial lighting of the tree.

Kicking off proceedings was a selection of holiday favorites played by the Mt. Lebanon High School Brass Ensemble, under the direction of music teacher Jason Cheskawich.

Third-graders from Mt. Lebanon’s various elementary schools gathered to sing in Spanish, followed by an energetic performance from students at the Center for the Theater Arts, directed by Billy Hartung.

The Southminster Ringers, the bell-ringing group from nearby Southminster Presbyterian Church, performed in front of the municipal building. Inside, the South Hills Model Railroad Club set up a display for enthusiasts to visit.

And those who stopped for a treat at Piccadilly Artisan Yogurt were treated to entertainment by The Rents, a musical group of five Upper St. Clair High School graduates.

Donating the tree that will stand in Clearview Common throughout the holiday season were David and Linda Pfister.
