Beautiful Christmas tree lights up the Grove night

After an afternoon of torrential rain, the skies cleared up and it ended up being a perfect night for the Coconut Grove Tree Lighting Party at CocoWalk. Here's your tree, Coconut Grove, right in the center of town.

Monty Trainer, along with Santa Claus, emceed the event. It was great to see so many people out.

School orchestras played in the back plaza. 

And there were face painters, balloon artists and of course photos with Santa.

Now, right in the center of town, as you drive through the Grove, the big, colorful tree, lights up the night. It's going to be great seeing it every night for the next month.
