Holiday Lights Coming to Downtown Falls Church

Later this week, trees in the 100 and 200 blocks of W. Broad St. will be decorated with white holiday lights, creating a festive shopping and dining atmosphere near one of the Falls Church area’s busiest intersections.

The low-energy lights will be strung on 30 trees. They will remain lit at night until March, and then removed to promote healthy tree growth.

This year, the pilot program will be managed by the City government; next year and beyond, the City will partner with businesses for permits and standards for installing lights on street trees. The program was started upon the request of businesses and with the support of the City Council.

The tree lighting program is made possible in part by donations from Atlantic Realty and the Oshinsky Family Limited Partnership.
