Join the City of Graham for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting tradition at City Hall, including holiday fun, ice skating on synthetic ice, shopping opportunities at Alamance Arts, food trucks, a special visit from Santa, and FIREWORKS!

This special tree that we light is a Fraser Fir, a native evergreen tree that grows on moist, cool slopes on top of the highest of the Appalachian Mountains in the Southeastern United States and can grow to 30 to 50 feet tall. It came to us from Alamance County Cooperative Extension in the fall of 2012. When this tree needed to be removed from their property, the Cooperative Extension reached out to the City of Graham to be its new home. The tree now thrives at City Hall and is a part of our community’s tradition, decorated with over 3,000 lights.
