ENID, OK – Attendees gathering in downtown Enid, Okla. For The One: Bright Lights Opening Ceremony on Sunday, December 1 will not only see the Christ Tree lit for the first time this holiday season, they also will witness one of the most spectacular Christmas light shows in the region.

The Christ Tree, a steel 102 foot-tall tree with its 20-foot Bethlehem star and 35,000 RBG lights, will be lit with an opening light display show that lasts approximately 30-minute and, according to organizers, “will take your breath away!”
The public is also invited to take part in other Holiday activities on The One Campus.
