Zilker tree lighting to take place on Dec. 4

The Austin Garage door specialists of Cowart Door Systems are happy to announced that the lighting of the Zilker Park tree, a holiday tradition in Austin, Texas,  will be on Dec. 4 this year for the 45th time.

Austin Energy began to light the large tree in 1967 and it contains more than 3,000 blue, red, green and yellow bulbs. The tree was originally put up in order to give something to the community that would help them celebrate the holiday season. The lighting of the tree is open to the public and a Christmas festival will be held in the days following.
