It's that time of year when the Carillon Bell Tower transforms into the shape of a holiday tree towering 200 feet in the air and glowing with 20,000 white lights.
As of yesterday, all the wires are in place for the holiday lights to be strung.
2015 was the first year the Tree of Lights illuminated the Dayton skyline. The idea for the Tree of Lights was inspired by Indianapolis's "Circle of Lights" and it honors the first public carillon concert in Dayton, which took place on Christmas Eve 1941.
The tree lighting will take place the day after Thanksgiving, November 28. It's a beautiful sight to see from many vantage points around town.
I can't wait for the December photo of the same scene.
ReplyDeleteOh, there will be plenty coming 😊
DeleteWith just those wire showing now it looks like a light from heaven is shining down on the tower.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a heavenly beam!
DeleteThis will be lovely. Though the Indianapolis Circle of Lights began when I was a child, and we lived just 30 minutes away, we only occasionally went there so unfortunately I never saw it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful tree. It's been around since 2015 and I never get tired of seeing it.
