Montgomery residents prepare for popular holiday tradition

The annual Alabama Christmas Tree Lighting is scheduled and the details of the event are now available to the public.

The annual tree lighting at the state capitol is an event that many locals make certain to attend. Past years have seen as many as 60,000 lights glowing brightly from the massive holiday tree. This year promises to be as bright and cheery for onlookers who see this as the cue that the Christmas season has officially started.

The event draws in local dignitaries and people from throughout the area to take part in the lighting and enjoy the performances. Montgomery business owners should be prepared with plenty of Holiday Cards and Promotional Products for the excited holiday shoppers who will now be ready to start preparing for their own celebrations.

The 2017 Alabama State Capitol Christmas Tree Lighting will include a performance from the Alabama National Guard and musical guests Will and Janet McFarland. Additional events in previous years have included visits from Santa.

The event will take place next Friday, December 1, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm with the lighting happening at approximately 5:30 pm. The lighting is on the front steps of the Alabama State Capitol building located at 600 Dexter Avenue in Montgomery. Everyone is invited and there is no fee to attend.
