Tree Lighting Kicks Off Holiday Season

A big crowd gathered at Oak Creek City Hall and Community Center and got in the holiday spirit.

The unofficial start of the holiday season in Oak Creek came Sunday night with tree-lighting festivities at Oak Creek City Hall and Community Center.

Santa arrived by fire truck at 5 p.m. to officially light the city's tree at City Hall, then headed inside to the Oak Creek Community Center, where he distributed special Christmas treat bags.

The community center hosted a big crowd that enjoyed refreshments, a children's coloring contest and musical entertainment from the Oak Creek High School Choir and Sweet Music of Oak Creek.
