Who We Are & What We Do

In 1919, twenty-five years after Allendale became a borough, some patriotic Allendale residents came together and created The Allendale Holiday Observers. Their intention was to provide and encourage the patriotic observance of holidays and to instill respect among our young people for our traditions

Mission

To provide the means for the proper observation of the anniversaries of National and Local Holidays.

Vision

We strive to make our community a better place and to bring joy to all Allendale residents, particularly the children of town.
