This year’s celebration will kick off Friday, November 20 at 5:00 pm, when a taped video honoring our community’s healthcare workers will debut on Market Street’s social media channels. Sponsored by Texas Children’s Hospital – The Woodlands and Sewell Automotive, the tree will continue to light up each evening through December 31, 2020.
