Presented annually for 25 years, The Living Christmas Tree is a spectacle of sight and sound! The performances feature unforgettable music and drama complemented by a pre-show outdoor live nativity. It has been described as "top-quality, affordable family entertainment at its finest."
The tree itself is a 30-foot-tall steel structure that holds an 80-person choir who stand on wooden platforms bolted to the framework. It weighs over 2 tons, is held together by more than 800 steel bolts, and is all decked out for Christmas with greenery and thousands of lights programmed to complement the music.
The star at the top of the tree is 4 feet tall and reaches to the ceiling of the auditorium.
After the tree is built, there's still more for our crew of volunteers to do, from staging and lighting for the drama to setting up for hot chocolate and cookies at our outdoor nativity.
Beyond all the fun facts and hard work, the Living Christmas Tree is much more than an engineering marvel or a musical production. It is truly an unforgettable event for the entire family!
