Las Vegas residents are invited to a holiday tree lighting ceremony and a free movie in the park on Dec. 17.
The second annual tree lighting event – hosted by city Councilman Ricki Barlow, who represents Ward 5 – will take place at 5 p.m. at Lorenzi Park, 3333 W. Washington Ave.
A 20-foot tree, located near the park’s main entrance off of Washington Avenue, will be decorated with ornaments handmade by children from Ward 5 elementary schools. Attendees can enjoy carolers and a horse-drawn carriage ride after the tree lighting.
At 6 p.m., interested residents can visit the park’s Sammy Davis Jr. Festival Plaza to watch “Christmas with the Kranks,” a Christmas comedy film starring Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis.
“I encourage everyone to bundle up the entire family and join me in Lorenzi Park for a community holiday celebration,” Barlow said in a statement. “Renewing relationships with friends and neighbors helps everyone to enjoy the holiday season.”
Participants are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and blanket to the movie screening. Hot cocoa, cookies, popcorn and cotton candy will be provided.
