Each year, this Christmas celebration draws thousands of residents and visitors alike. This spectacular holiday tradition of music, food, and Santa Claus, capped with the lighting of the City Christmas Tree, is a not-to-be-missed evening. Our towering tree, with dazzling lights, colorful ornaments, and a stunning star topper, will light up all of downtown on Friday, November 30, 2018. The festivities kick off at 5:30 p.m. on the City Marketplace property at the corner of W. Marion Ave. and Taylor St.There will be singing and dance performances, photo ops with Santa and the weather forecast is calling for some snow!
