Lumineers, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood Join Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration in DC

WASHINGTON, DC — It's almost here: the lighting of the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse at President's Park, and the Lumineers, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have joined an already star-studded cast who will be attendance.

James Taylor, Chance the Rapper, Kelly Clarkson and Yolanda Adams are already confirmed performers for the Dec. 1 lighting ceremony, which will be telecast on the Hallmark Channel on Dec. 5.

"An American holiday tradition started by President Calvin Coolidge in 1923, the National Christmas Tree Lighting is a great example of the countless ways there are to #FindYourPark," a statement notes. "Launched in March 2015, Find Your Park/Encuentra Tu Parque is a public awareness and education movement to inspire people to connect with, celebrate, and support America’s national parks and community-based programs.

"Celebrating the National Park Service Centennial and setting the stage for the Service's next 100 years, Find Your Park invites people to discover and share their own unique connections to our nation's natural landscapes, vibrant culture, and rich history," the statement adds.
