Abstract: After the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in early December, the holiday festivities in President’s Park, a unit of the National Park Service, continue with the National Christmas Tree Music Program. This holiday themed event welcomes performance groups from schools, choirs, and dance studios who contribute their talents and enrich the already memorable experience for park visitors. While the majority of groups are local, we often have groups from across the country and even as far away as Australia perform. For many groups this experience is a significant aspect of their holiday tradition as friends and family come to support and enjoy President’s Park. To ensure that all groups have a fair opportunity to perform, we collect applications and select groups at random based on their preferred performance dates.
