🎄 Reserve Your Spot at Longview's Most Magical Night of the Year 🎄

Downtown Longview comes alive every November when the 23.5-foot Christmas tree at Heritage Plaza is lit for the season, and this year's celebration is bigger and more festive than ever. The City of Longview Christmas Tree Lighting, hosted by the Longview Main Street program in partnership with One Hundred Acres of Heritage, is the moment the holiday season officially begins in East Texas.

This year's theme is A Texas Christmas, and the plaza will be filled with pictures with Santa, live music, carriage rides, a petting zoo, Ollie's Faux Snow Hill, food trucks, and a vibrant vendor marketplace. Thousands of families, neighbors, and visitors gather each year to soak in the lights, the warmth, and the community spirit that makes this event one of Longview's most beloved traditions.
