One of our favorite free ways to celebrate the season is with a holiday tree lighting, and — lucky for us — there are lots of trees to be lit in the Portland area. Find an in-person tree lighting ceremony near you, and start the season with a little sparkle. You just might see Santa there, too.
Best of all, tree lighting ceremonies are free to attend!
