John Scarffe, Nederland. “We are here to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkuh and all of the holidays,” Mayor Kristopher Larsen told a large group in attendance at the December 7, 2018, Tree Lighting Festival at 5:15 p.m. outside Town Hall. “On the darkest night of the year, we are here to light up the night in Nederland.”
Larsen counted down from 10, and, suddenly, out of the dark, freezing night, lights shone on the huge pine tree outside Town Hall, on Town Hall, on the Nederland Visitor’s Center and the Bridge on the east side of the highway.
Larsen encouraged attendees to check out the Visitor’s Center with hot chocolate and all the businesses in town. Before Larsen’s remarks, a band of guitar, banjo, fiddle and accordion players accompanied Girl Scout vocalists on Holiday songs.
Following Larsen’s remarks, more Holiday music ended the festivities as folks headed into the well-lit night.
