NEW HOPE — Justin Guarini will be co-hosting the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony Sunday in New Hope.
Guarini, who grew up in Doylestown and became a national star with a second place finish on the American Idol TV show, will be at the community event from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
John Danaher of the New Hope Chamber of Commerce and producer of the festivities said Guarini wasn’t contacted until the last minute and agreed to attend.
Danaher, who owns Merging Music in New Hope, contacted Guarini’s father-in-law, who got in touch with the singer.
“It just all came together in about 20 minutes,” Danaher said. “I really give him a lot of credit. He’s always been willing to help out the community.”
Guarini will co-host the event with New Hope Mayor Laurence Keller at Ferry and Main streets. Things get started at 5 p.m. and Santa is expected to arrive at 6, Danaher said.
