2007 Zilker Tree Lighting: Just letting you know that on Sunday, December 2 when the lights go on at the Zilker "Moon Tower" Tree. The party begins at 6 pm.   Just for future reference the Zilker Tree lighting takes place on the first Sunday in December. The tree stays lit through December 31.  So come on down and see if for yourself.  When you stand under it and spin it is really cool.  Just doing do it too long or you will be sick.
