Lake Havasu City teams up with Radio Central to kick off the holiday season in style with the lighting up of the new LED Christmas tree at Wheeler Park. The celebration, slated for Sunday, November 30, starts at 6:00 p.m., complete with a holiday address from Mayor Sheehy, just before they light up the tree.

For the residents planning to join in the festivities, be aware that McCulloch Boulevard will be temporarily shut down from Riviera Boulevard to Capri Boulevard. This closure is essential to ensure everything goes smoothly and safely, running from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on the day of the event, according to city officials.

The history of community gatherings like this one at Wheeler Park runs deep, with the annual tree lighting being a source of joy since 1979. It's more than just a tree lighting; it's an opportunity for families to come together, immerse themselves in the holiday spirit, and witness the arrival of Santa Claus.

Locals are encouraged not only to watch the tree come to life with lights but also to actively participate in the celebration. Sharing in the holiday cheer has always been a part of this event's charm, fostering a sense of unity and joy among those who gather. Santa's special appearance is sure to be a hit with the kids, making it a can’t-miss event for the community.
