The second annual Amacon Christmas Tree lighting will be held in front of the Art Gallery done in the same style as the Rockefeller Center.

The tree is 50 feet high. Light will illuminate Robson Street until the New Year.

There will be performances by the Sarah McLachlan Music Outreach Youth Choir, Taiko drummers from Strathcona School, and even some of the Canucks and Santa Fin will be there.[News1130]

This is a free event and open for all to attend – bring down the kids and grab a hot chocolate (even though it is a school night).

    I had a chance to catch it tonight as I was waiting for a client at the Hotel Vancouver; it’s a really nice looking tree.
