will take place at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, November 30, at the Ellipse.

Tickets have already been distributed through a lottery, but the tree will be open to visitors from December 2 through January 1, with a display of ornaments made by Americans from every state and territory. The lighting ceremony will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday, December 11, at 8 PM. The broadcast will feature performances from the US Marine Band, Shania Twain, LL Cool J, Andy Grammer, Yolanda Adams, and more. Before a single branch is illuminated, though, DC will have to endure the annual traffic nightmare that accompanies the lighting.
