Annual tree lighting celebration held at City Hall

NORWALK, Conn. – The city’s annual tree lighting celebration was held at City Hall Wednesday evening.

Because of persistent rain and fog, the event’s activities were held inside, which included a video projection in the Concert Hall of the city’s outdoor Christmas Tree being lit.

Several hundred people, including many children, were in the hall when Mayor Harry W. Rilling and his wife, Lucia, led the countdown to illuminating the tree’s strings of lights. The tree is located on the northwest corner of the City Hall property.

Choral groups also performed in the hall before everyone moved to the Community Room, where children met Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus.
