ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The city's Holiday Tree Lighting moves to Waterfront Park this year, kicking off a season of parades, markets, Santa visits, and light displays that runs through New Year's Eve fireworks on the waterfront.

Here's what's on the calendar so far. Some details are still to come, and The Alexandria Brief will update this list as organizers announce them.
