As dusk settles over Central Park, at approximately 5 PM, the air will be filled with music by local choirs.  The four 2009 Holiday Card winners will be introduced and their colorful cards unveiled.

At approximately 6 PM, Bob Opsahl of WFTV-Ch. 9 will officially light the huge Christmas Tree, signaling the official beginning of the Holiday Season in Winter Park.  Following the tree lighting, Santa will greet children. 

Directly after the tree lighting, join the Enzian Theater for Popcorn Flicks.  Presented by the City of Winter Park and Enzian Theater. Gather with family and friends to enjoy these holiday classics. The animated film "How the Grinch Stole Christmas! will precede the 1954 classic "White Christmas" starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney. Please join us for this family fun event which is sure to warm the night!
