The Magic of Christmas in Williams
If you happen to be traveling Route 66 in Arizona the day after Thanksgiving, make a stop in Williams.
The 4th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Williams, Arizona will be Friday, November 28. The 48-foot tree sits at the corner of Route 66 and 2nd Street in the historic small town in northern Arizona. The ceremony was voted the “Best Rural Event” in the state for 2007 by the Arizona Office of Tourism.
The festivities surrounding the lighting ceremony begin at 4:30pm with entertainment provided by a local band, “The Good Ole Boys”. There will also be Dickens Carolers and a live Nativity.
The Tree Lighting Ceremony is at 6:00pm. Santa Claus arrives immediately following the lighting ceremony.
The ceremony began in 2005. This year’s title sponsor is the Grand Canyon Railway.
