Surf City Christmas tree goes up, lighting ceremony this weekend

SURF CITY, NC (WWAY) — The holidays are right around the corner and that means the beach towns are starting to decorate.

This week, the Town of Surf City has been assembling its giant Christmas tree. The tree sits right in the middle of Soundside Park.

Parks and Recreation staff also decorate the whole park and fishing piers with garland and lights.

This Saturday, the town will light the tree at the Jingle and Mingle Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. That includes a visit from Santa Claus, Christmas carols and food.

It all starts at 6:00 p.m.
