Framingham Holiday Tree Arrives Ahead Of Lighting

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Framingham is officially ready for the holiday season after the arrival of the city's holiday tree.

The tree, which arrived Friday, is a 30-foot blue spruce that was donated by a local resident.

Framingham Department of Public Works employees installed the tree downtown and will be putting lights on it in the days leading up to the Friday holiday block party and tree lighting.

That event is scheduled from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on Union Avenue, and features the tree lighting, the arrival of the Claus family to Framingham and the Framingham Girl Scouts holiday sing-along.
