Christmas spirit will be alive and well in Kingfisher this Friday night.

The Community Tree Lighting will highlight an evening full of events, which will include shopping at downtown stores, food, music, entertainment...and Santa.

The tree lighting will take place at 6 p.m. in front of the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce office at the corner of Main Street and Broadway Avenue (U.S. Highway 81 and State Highway 33).

It will feature caroling and prizes will also be given away.

Before and after the tree lighting, be sure to visit downtown merchants for “Pink Friday” shopping.
