Our 46th annual Holiday Tree Lighting event is taking place in Plaza Park on Tuesday, December 6 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Santa will help light the holiday tree around 7 p.m. and will be present throughout the event so that attendees can take a photo to last a lifetime.

Enjoy live performances by:
- Jefferson Middle School Choir and Orchestra
