Join the State Capitol and Gov. Roy Cooper for the annual tree-lighting tradition on Thursday, Dec. 7th! The festivities will begin on Capitol Square at 5:30 p.m. with holiday music by the Raleigh Concert Band. Even Santa is scheduled to make an appearance! While the Capitol building remains closed due to ongoing construction, the public is invited to the Governor’s Mansion immediately following the lighting of the tree to see the executive residence all decked out for the holidays. The 2023 Capitol tree is sponsored by State Employees Credit Union.
