Hi Nina,
I bet the tree lighting and festivities is something families look forward to all year long.  It sounds more interactive than the very popular tree lighting ceremonies in Leavenworth, WA, just 25 miles west of Wenatchee.

George Souto hi George... we have dozens of tree lightings all over the Charlotte region... some are just before Thanksgiving, others right after. You couldn't possibly keep up with them all.

Carol Williams hi Carol... a lot of the communities in and around Charlotte try to combine a bit of a Christmas festival or market with their tree lightings.

Hi Nina:

This sounds like such a fun holiday event for all, with quite an impressive tree. Enjoy if you go.

This reminds me about needing to do my post about our Carlsbad tree lighting in a couple of weeks.

Jeff Dowler, CRS hi Jeff... this is a very popular holiday event in Charlotte. I don't go because it's a hassle to park in Uptown.

That sounds like a very fun event!  While addressing my Christmas cards this year, I realized I have a friend who has a home at North Topsail Beach, is that near you?

Brian England good morning, Brian... a guess the answer to your question is how you define "near." Topsail Beach is 230+ miles from Charlotte and at least a 4 hour drive depending on where you start.

I wouldn't consider that close, haha.

Brian England hi Brian... I suppose if one lives in a very remote area, that might be "around the corner." For you and me, not so much!

Hi, Nina Hollander, Broker - This should be a great way to start the holiday celebration.  Sedona is on December 1.  I probably won't go because of the traffic.

I am a long ways away but if I was i Charlotte, I think the tree lighting ceremony would have been well worth visiting.
