Events Description
Watch as the crowd counts down ‘til the switch gets flipped and twinkling lights are turned on the 55 foot majestic tree in Trinity Square.
The official grand opening of The 2025 Distillery Winter Village will take place on November 13 at 6:00 p.m. when Santa flips the switch on the 55-foot-tall, silver fir Christmas tree designed by Christian Dior Parfums. Come early to get a great view of the beautiful tree!
