The 13^th Aldermanic District – also known as the Garden District – will celebrate the holiday season with multiple events taking place this week.

The program will begin at 6 p.m. and feature caroling by area schools with the tree lighting at 7 p.m. Free cookies and hot chocolate will be available while supplies last.

Area Alderman Scott Spiker is encouraging residents to come participate in the seasonal fun. “Every year the Garden District goes above and beyond to create a festive and welcoming set of events to spread holiday cheer,” he said. “We will kick-off the season with our annual tree lighting on Tuesday, and follow that up with Songs of the Season and our lights display on Saturday. I would invite residents from across the 13^th and the entire city to come participate in the family-friendly fun.”

The Songs of the Season event will take place on Saturday, December 11 also at 6^th and Norwich. Caroling will begin at 4 p.m. and conclude with illuminating the Winter Wonderland lights display at dusk.
