Zilker tree-lighting goes online
Wednesday, November 11, 2020 by Elizabeth Pagano
The Zilker tree-lighting ceremony will be a bit different this year, just like everything else. The good news is, if you are someone who has avoided the ceremony due to a distaste for crowds, this might be your year. All of the 2020 festivities will take place virtually, on Sunday, Nov. 29, at 6 p.m. The online event will feature performances from the Barton Hills Choir and the Austin Civic Wind Ensemble. Those who would like to “attend” may tune in to ATXN, Channel 6, YouTube or Facebook Live.
