THE TREE IS HERE!
Fort Worth’s 78th Annual Fort Worth Community Christmas Tree traveled 1,236 miles from Cadillac, Michigan to Sundance Square. It’s a six-story tall (82 foot) Norway Spruce; and is the tallest live Christmas Tree in Texas.
The city’s annual Christmas Tree tradition was started by Fort Worth Star-Telegram publisher Amon Carter in 1947. Carter took great pride in Ft Worth’s tree being taller than the National Christmas tree outside the White House. This bragging right continues today with Ft Worth’s 2024 tree being 52’ taller. In fact, Ft Worth’s 2024 Christmas tree is even 8’ taller than the tree in New York City’s Rockefeller Center. Sundance Square has managed the city’s annual Christmas Tree project for the past 20 years.
The tree lighting ceremony is Tuesday, December 3rd from 6-7 pm with the lighting countdown at 7pm.
