The 15th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place on December 11, 2011, at 4.30 p.m. on the Clem Labega Square.
The event, which was initially scheduled to take place last week Sunday at the end of the Annual Thanksgiving ceremony, was postponed due to inclement weather.
This year’s event will feature many well-known local artists and performers, who will be "ringing in the Christmas season and a message of peace to the nation".
Performing on that evening will be the Ebony Steel Pan performance, the Bottleneck Crew, Don Froston, the Youth Drum Band, the Seventh Day Adventist men’s choir, Morenika Arrindell and friends, Helen Hart, Dieanna Wilson, and a special appearance by Santa.
"Despite the adversities that we have encountered as a nation, let us remember during this holiday season to reflect on what is truly meaningful and count the blessings that we have received", the Prime Minister Hon. Sarah Wescot-Williams said as she encouraged the population to come out to this annual event.
