Residents of Las Cruces can begin their holiday celebrations on Saturday, December 7th, from 6 to 8 p.m., with the city’s annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. According to the City of Las Cruces, the event will take place this year at Plaza de Las Cruces, which is conveniently situated at 100 N. Main St., and promises to be a festive and community-friendly evening.
Families are drawn to the free event, which offers a variety of attractions like live music, freebies, refreshments, and a spread of food trucks that are serving up the comforting scents of the season. The ceremony ends with the lighting of the Christmas tree at precisely 7 p.m., as the mayor illuminates not only the conifer but also the community’s collective hope, while the kids participate in the entertaining events scheduled. Those in attendance will witness Mayor Eric Enriquez sharing the year’s highlights and fondly reflecting on the moments that shaped 2024.
The celebration continues beyond the tree’s dazzling illumination, as it sets the stage for a traditional holiday movie screening. Doors for “The Muppet Christmas Carol” will open after the ceremony at the Rio Grande Theatre, a historically and culturally significant building located at 211 N. Main St., a short stroll from the plaza. This nostalgic trip is open to interested spectators for a little cost of $5 per person.
