The magnificent tree is one of the biggest in Metro Vancouver to be decorated with twinkling lights.
The community is invited to watch the magic happen Saturday Nov. 23 at the Edmonds Community Centre Festival of Lights event from 2:30p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley will do the honours of lighting the tree along with one lucky child whose name will be selected from a draw.
The afternoon offers festive fun for the whole family to enjoy, including the chance to meet Santa and have a photo taken, arts and craft activities, cookie decorating, face painting and roving entertainment. Festive spirit will be in the air with Christmas carols performed by a senior's choir.
