The 13th Annual Tree Lighting will take place on Friday, December 3, 2010 at 6:00PM. This event is sponsored by the Main Street Program of Anderson with financial assistance from the City of Anderson and Anderson County . You are invited to participate in helping create a festive atmosphere for Downtown visitors as they gather in the spirit of the Christmas season.
The event kicks off with the lighting of the tree at the Anderson County Courthouse Plaza . The ceremony includes a musical performance by the T.L. Hanna Jazz Band, announcement of the Downtown Christmas Display Contest, and, of course, everyone’s favorite Christmas guest—Santa Claus! Santa’s reindeer will be resting up for Christmas Eve, but Santa will have a new way to tour Downtown that involves other animals with hooves. Visitors may wander in and out of shops, eat dinner at one of our downtown restaurants, see the many historic and artistic attractions, and Santa might just let you try out his new ride! This event is the prelude to the City of Anderson ’s Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 5, 2010 at 3:00PM.
We encourage all businesses and property owners to decorate their windows and buildings to participate in the Christmas Display Contest. Traveling trophies are awarded for categories of storefront and non-storefront displays. Judging will take place on Thursday, December 2. We also encourage business owners to extend their hours beginning at 6:00PM and to consider offering light refreshments and/ or specials.
Parking in the West Whitner Parking Garage will be FREE throughout the holiday season. Thank you for doing your part to “electrify” the holiday season and making Downtown Anderson “The Brightest Part of the Electric City .”
