The Salvation Army band will play, so follow the sound of carols ringing through the mall until you find your way to the Christmas tree at the old entrance to Herberger's. KAAL will join us, as well as Brad Trahan, our 2025 Christmas Campaign Chairman, as we count down to the lighting of the tree and welcome the community to place the first gifts of Christmas under the tree. 
The Christmas tree in the mall will continue to serve as a Christmas gift collection site for The Salvation Army all the way through Christmas Eve. All gifts donated will be distributed to families in need during our Toy & Joy Shop the week before Christmas. 
All are welcome. We look forward to seeing everything at the mall for the Lighting of the Sharing Tree!
