The popular Green Space tree lighting event was held in downtown Lewisburg last weekend with music and carols from the Greenbrier Valley Chorale and Greenbrier East High School’s Second Block Rock, and hot chocolate and cookies courtesy of Rescare. Mayor Beverly White gave a welcoming invocation before the big countdown. The Green Space was packed with visitors to witness the first evening of the holiday décor, and with over 5,000 lights on the main tree alone, it’s a sight to see from both the Green Space itself and for traffic passing by on Washington Street and Rt. 219.
Storefronts displayed their holiday cheer with updated window displays for the holiday shopping season, and horse carriages equipped with jingle bells added a festive flair to the atmosphere.

The annual tree lighting is sponsored by the Lewisburg in Bloom Committee.
