If your Christmas tree hails from the seaside pine forests of Oregon or the dense woody depths of Vermont, this weekend is your chance to equalize that carbon footprint. At MulchFest 2011, you can turn your tree into nourishing mulch for the trees, shrubs, gardens and parks of New York City. It is as simple as leaving your tree curbside, or heading to one of the MulchFest locations in and around Park Slope today or tomorrow. Just bring your tree to either Prospect Park West and Third Street in Park Slope or to nearby sites at Prospect Park Southwest and Parkside or Green-Wood Cemetary. Trees are turned into woodchips, which Brooklynites can either donate to the Parks Department or bring home to use in window boxes, planters, pots and backyard gardens. There will also be a New Year's Eve party at Glen Echo Park that may require you to put on your dancing shoes. From 8 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Dec. 31 there will be swing dancing lessons hosted by Flying Feet Enterprises, and after that guests can practice their new skills with live music performed by Lynn "Luscious" McCune. There are several offers through weekend breaks uk that includes light refreshments and sparkling cider will be served at the party, which costs $25 per person. The wind down from the Christmas chaos by driving through the Gaithersburg Winter Light Festival during its last weekend open this year. From 6 p.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, the light display is open in Seneca Creek Park in North Potomac. The show features more than 380 illuminated vignettes and 65 animated displays. Proceeds benefit local charities and it costs $15 per car.
