Work has officially kicked off in downtown Orlando, where crews are in the midst of a Christmas transformation, erecting a towering 64-foot holiday tree at Lake Eola. According to ClickOrlando, this colossal festive centerpiece at Washington Plaza is slated to bask in the limelight with nearly 2,000 decorations shimmering across its branches, wrapped up in 200 pounds of twinkling lights, which, in a display that pairs delight with technology, will dance in sync to the tunes alongside the iconic lights of the Lake Eola fountain.

Such a monumental endeavor involves not just one or two, but a host of heavy equipment geared up at Lake Eola Park's Washington Plaza at 195 North Rosalind Avenue, transforming the plaza into a bustling workshop of holiday magic, as shared by WFTV.

As Lake Eola gears up to flip the switch, the anticipation bubbles in the city with the tree lighting ceremony marked for Friday, Dec. 5.
