The City of Superior lights up for the holiday season

Folks gathered at Center City Park to watch the City of Superior Wisconsin light up their holiday tree for the 2024 season on Friday November 29th.

Mayor Jim Payne was there along with Santa Claus to usher in the new season with the new tree.

Every year the City of Superior lights up a living tree and watches it grow in the public park. This year’s tree was planted back in 2023, and Mayor Jim Payne hopes the tree will grow alongside the city for the holiday season.

“Everybody that took pictures with last year’s tree, this one is a little bit bigger, and it’ll be a little bit bigger next year and the year after that and the year after that.” said Mayor Payne. “Those of you with little ones, you can watch them grow up with their Christmas tree. That’s the other thing that’s important about this. This is your tree. It is in a city park on our busiest intersection. It belongs to all of you, including the children that are here.”
