**UPDATE**: Tonight’s Tree Lighting Celebration is still scheduled as planned starting with the Vendor Village at 4 p.m. Please note the trackless train is unable to run and some performances will be limited due to the poor forecast. Santa Claus will make his grand entrance at 6 p.m. shortly before the Tree Lighting and will be available for photos afterward. We look forward to seeing you tonight!
