Join us for our annual Community Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, co-sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg. The festivities begin at 5 p.m. in front of the Courthouse steps with a special reading of The Night Before Christmas. Hear the story of the first Christmas tree in Virginia, sing classic Christmas carols, and delight in the joys of childhood as the 40-foot spruce with over 7,500 twinkling lights is illuminated on Market Square.
Weather permitting.
