Christmas tree lighting on tap tonight in Providence

PROVIDENCE -- The Christmas spirit should shine brightly in downtown Providence this evening.

City officials will flip the switch on a 30-foot Balsam fir at 5:30 p.m. at the city's annual tree lighting ceremony. There will be singing, free skating at the Bank of America skating center, and horse-drawn carriage rides.

The tree lighting will take place on the steps of City Hall at the south end of Kennedy Plaza. Mayor David N. Cicilline and WPRI news anchor Karen Adams will co-host the event.

There will be performances by The Voices of Sophia, a group of students from Sophia Academy, and Loriana De Crescenzo of Opera Providence. Actors from the Trinity Repertory Company are also scheduled to stop by.
