The City of Miami ushered in the Christmas season with its official tree lighting ceremony and Christmas parade.
On Friday night, Miami residents braved the chilly weather to gather for the community tree lighting ceremony. Mayor Bless Parker served as emcee of the ceremony. He says this year’s tree is 46 feet tall and next year’s will be even taller.
Community members then counted down to the lighting of the tree.
