Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting Event

Join us on Crown Center Square on the day after Thanksgiving to experience the illumination of one of the tallest Christmas trees in the nation!

Be part of this Kansas City spectacular with an all-new lighting event that you won’t want to miss! Combining new traditions with old, this Friday evening Mayor’s Christmas Tree Lighting Event is part of the Hallmark Christmas Experience.

Crown Center President Stacey Paine welcomes Mayor Quinton Lucas and Hallmark Stars for the countdown to light the tree. New light show to follow. The event begins at 6 p.m.

FREE Admission. 816-274-8444.

The tree is a symbol of the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund, which helps fellow Kansas Citians in need celebrate the holiday season. After the holidays, the wood from the Mayor’s Christmas Tree is made into commemorative ornaments, which are sold the following year to benefit the Mayor’s Christmas Tree Fund.
