Annual City of Hoover Christmas Tree Lighting tonight

The annual Hoover Christmas Tree Lighting will take place on Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. at City Hall. The event, which typically draws a large crowd, will include a Hoover City School choir performance, a Christmas sing-a-long, a snow play area and light refreshments. 

Santa will make a grand entrance in a fire truck, and children will have the opportunity to take their photos with him. Hoover City School students will lead the lighting of the 32-foot-tall-Christmas tree that stands in front of the Hoover Municipal Center on U.S. 31. 

Parking will be available at Hoover Public Library, which will be closed for the day. This is a free event that is open to the public. For more information, visit hooveral.org.
