Santa Claus arrives after the tree is lit at 6:30 p.m.

Milton's holiday season will kick off today, Nov. 29 with the fifth annual City of Milton Tree Lighting ceremony.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. today and ends at 7:30 p.m. at the corner of Ga. 9 and Webb Road, in the Super Target-Kohl's shopping center. The tree lighting ceremony will last 30 minutes, and will include musical performances and Milton's Mayor and City Council counting down to the big moment.

After the tree is lit, good St. Nick will arrive by fire truck to the tune of "Here Comes Santa Claus."
