The tree lighting takes place at 6:30 p.m., followed by a stunning fireworks display.
In addition, the Joia Drum Line, Banana Bike Brigade and the Bob Case Brass Band will lead a procession to Macy's for photo opportunities with The Grinch, performances by the Radio Disney Road Crew and holiday treats for all.
