The 29th Annual Spirit of Christmas tree lighting rings in Gresham’s holiday season with a free, family-friendly program that includes music, photos with Santa, refreshments and the lighting of the 60-foot Ponderosa pine on the Arts Plaza. Fun activities are planned in Historic Downtown all day leading up to the tree lighting festivities on the Arts Plaza, and after, too.
