Bristol welcomes the season tonight with our third annual Community Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony at the Cumberland Street triangle.

The event is sponsored by Bristol Virginia Utilities - BVU

Come and enjoy hot cider and chocolate, holiday music played by the

Tennessee High School band.

Virginia Intermont students will be available to take photos and community members are invited to bring hand bells to ring at the close of the event, when several local churches chime their steeple bells simultaneously.
