The annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Colonial Williamsburg will look at little different this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
âA beloved Williamsburg holiday tradition â the 61st annual Community Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony presented by Colonial Williamsburg and the Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg â will go virtual in 2020 to limit health risks associated with COVID-19,â according to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s news release.
The event is free and open to the public.
Attendees can expect to see a 40-foot spruce tree with ânearly 7,500 lights, music and a community reading of âa Visit from St. NicholasââââThe Night Before Christmasâ
