This 20-year-old , 20-foot tree will be lit Friday at 6:30 p.m. As it does each year, the tree serves as the city’s official Christmas Tree.
People will gather starting at 5:30 p.m. on the lawn at the Manassas Museum to see a string of lights on the tree illuminated. A traditional Santa Claus will greet children at the nearby Harris Pavilion, and an old-fashioned Santa will greet children at the museum.
The tree lighting event will also feature live music, hot chocolate, and carriage rides around Downtown.
The tree lighting is apart of the annual “Merry Old Town” celebration.
