Friday, November 24, 2006 marks the 93rd year of the much anticipated tree lighting tradition. Festive holiday music begins at 4:30 p.m. and the holiday season in Chicago officially commences at 5:00 p.m., when the switch is flipped and the lights begin to sparkle and shine in Daley Plaza. Chicago's massive 85 foot tall holiday tree is comprised of more than 100 smaller Balsam Fir trees illuminated with more than 4,000 twinkling red, gold, white and green lights and 130 glowing ornaments. The tradition of an official City tree was initiated back in 1913 when it was first lit by Mayor Carter H. Harrison in Grant Park.
