Downtown Aiken Christmas Tree Lighting - 12/5/14

We've been decking the halls, streets and shop windows, now it's time to light the Christmas tree!  Our tree is located in the center of Downtown Aiken, at the intersection of Richland Ave and Laurens Street - it sits atop the fountain!  Come join the community in singing Christmas Carols and welcoming the Christmas season! See you there!    We have a new tree this year, too -    not sure why we switched trees, we used to have a snowflake metal sculpture tree, it was simply beautiful --- this years tree has a more 'real tree' look to it. I'll post some pics after the lighting.
What: Christmas tree lighting
When: December 5, 2014
Where: Downtown Aiken - Richland Ave/Laurens Street
Time;  starts at 6:30pm
More Info: 803.642.7634
