NEXT ON NBC 5: Fort Worth kicks off the holiday season with cheer and lights! Tune in for all the sights and sounds.
Sunday night the city of Fort Worth held a lighting ceremony for its 65-foot-tall Christmas tree in Sundance Square, followed by the 'Parade of Lights' downtown.
The tree, which Fort Worth claims is the second tallest live Christmas tree in the state, came from 1,289 miles away. It's the 76th anniversary of the Fort Worth Community Christmas Tree, which was started in 1947 by Amon Carter. Sunday evening hundreds gathered at Sundance Square and joined in on the countdown to light the tree.Sign up for NBC DFW newsletters"This means so much to us, we have not taken our kids to do anything like this before, and getting to see Christmas through the eyes of kids is a totally different experience," said Brittany Logue a mother of three.
"I'm here to see the parade of lights," said Curtis Beck, a man with a long white beard, who wore a red sweater and red hat. He joked that he's the younger brother of Santa Claus, due to the striking resemblance.Local
