On December 2, Plano Parks and Rec will launch one of the most festive and fun events of the year, beginning with the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. Downtown retailers will be open late for holiday shopping and browsing.

Music and dancing by local dance companies, high schools and churches will be featured on several stages, and a variety of food vendors will offer an assortment of tasty treats during the evening such as hot drinks for the cool evening, soft drinks, kettle korn, corn dogs, funnel cakes and a food lover’s fare from several downtown restaurants.

A special Santa mailbox will be installed in Haggard Park near the Interurban Railway Museum for children who would like to write a letter to Santa.
