Utah Tech University is inviting the community to kick off the holiday season at its annual Tree Lighting Celebration on Dec. 3 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. in the Holland Plaza on campus.
The evening will feature the ceremonial lighting of the university’s 40-foot light tree at 6 p.m., followed by the event’s first-ever holiday-themed drone show at 7:30 p.m. The celebration is free and open to the public.
“There’s something magical about seeing our campus and the St. George community come together in such high spirits to welcome the holiday season,” said Brenna McCue, events and promotions coordinator at Utah Tech.
Guests can enjoy tractor rides, horse and carriage rides, visits with Santa, live performances and activity booths. University President Shane B. Smeed and First Lady Angela Smeed will hand out a commemorative ornament to the first 500 attendees.
“Utah Tech University’s Tree Lighting Celebration showcases the very best of who we are — our unity, our joy and the genuine sense of togetherness that makes this place so special,” McCue said.
