Community Tree Lighting

Join us for an evening of food, fun and festivities at the annual Community Tree Lighting ceremony to start off the holiday season! 

The event takes place Friday, Dec. 1, on Bismarck Kaserne in the large parking lot in front of the Garrison Headquarters building, starting off with food and beverage stands open at 5 p.m. The USAREUR-AF Band Brass Quintet will provide that special holiday atmosphere with their music.

The official ceremony begins at 6 p.m., with the Ansbach Elementary School children's choir performing for the community, and concludes with Santa arriving and helping the garrison commander turn on the switch of the lights on the tree. 

Stay afterwards for some community spirit around the fire pits, hot beverages and holiday music.
