The ceremony will begin with a musical holiday performance by SecondStory Repertory theater. At 5 p.m., Santa will emerge from his cottage and the countdown will begin to light the three-story tree. After the explosion of light, SecondStory will lead the singing of a few more carols for the audience to join in on.

At 5:30 p.m., VALA — Venue for Artists of the Local Area — will celebrate its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and chamber music to entertain the patrons of the arts. Unique artwork will be featured and several artists will be on site to discuss their designs.
