The annual lighting of the tree and opening of the Wells Fargo skating rink takes place today in Rice park at 5:00 PM. The gigantic tree with 30,000 energy-efficient LED lights that will be lit up and left on until be left on until January 1. It is really lovely the whole park is lit up and decorated. At this year’s Tree Lighting Ceremony, Make A Wish Foundation® of Minnesota will be selling candles with a portion of proceeds going to grant the wish of a Minnesota child.
Here are some photos from previous years.
If you want to photograph the park all lit up one of the best times to do it is on a Sunday morning.
Remember how snowy 2010 was?
If you see me in the park say hi. I’ll be the one with the tripod.
