The city will host its annual holiday tree lighting ceremony on Saturday, Nov. 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. in Market Square at 301 King St.
The free event will feature the arrival of Santa Claus via the King Street Trolley, with the tree lighting scheduled between 6:40 and 6:55 p.m. The mayor will join community members for the ceremony.
This year’s celebration will be the last tree lighting in Market Square before a temporary closure for City Hall and Market Square renovations. The city is asking residents to share photos from past tree lighting ceremonies using the hashtag #CityHallMemories.
Following the lighting, Santa and Mrs. Claus will walk Market Square and visit with families until 8 p.m. Music and other holiday entertainment will begin after 7 p.m.
The event will take place rain or shine. Market Square is located at City Hall, between King and Cameron streets and between North Royal and North Fairfax streets.
