For the fourth year in a row, the downtown mall will erect and light up a 108-foot tree, the tallest Christmas tree in the country.

The official reveal and lighting ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 14 at 6:30 p.m., and it usually features some surprise guests to help ring in the holiday season.

The event is known to draw massive crowds, so you'll want to get there early if you're planning to attend the annual celebratory tree lighting.
