North Carolinians are invited to watch Governor Cooper, First Lady Kristin Cooper and state officials kick off the holiday season with the 42nd annual State Capitol tree lighting. The ceremony will be held virtually, available for everyone to enjoy online here.
This year’s tree is a 24-foot Fraser Fir from Peak Farms in Ashe County. Wreaths outside the Capitol have been donated by the NC Christmas Tree Growers Association.
“So many of us are doing the right thing and adapting our holiday traditions to keep our families and others safe,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “We’re proud to present the annual lighting of this beautiful North Carolina Fraser fir Christmas tree so that everyone from Manteo to Murphy can enjoy it safely online.”
