The City of Mobile is announcing a night of cheer as Mayor Sandy Stimpson will light up the night and celebrate the start of the holiday season. The annual Lighting of the Tree on Friday, Nov. 15 in Mardi Gras Park.
The yearly event has become the annual launching point for the Holiday Season in Mobile. The ceremony will be the first of several holiday-themed events hosted by the City of Mobile and the Mobile Events Department for the 2024 season.
