The holiday spirit will still be alive this year in Fort Worth, but things will be a little different.
Sundance Square will still have a Christmas tree, but there will be more silent nights this holiday season as there will be no public lighting ceremony or Santa Claus this year.
The lighting of the the 55-foot blue spruce is typically a very popular event in the city during the holidays coordinated around the Parade of Lights, theater performances, and the holiday shopping season.
The GM Financial Parade will take place on November 22nd inside the Fort Worth Convention Center. It will be broadcast on television and online.
There was no information on where the Christmas tree might go up, and the city has very few Christmas decorations up at this time.
Emily Reiss, a new Fort Worth resident, told CBS DFW, "You would expect to see all the Christmas decorations going up into Thanksgiving, at least, and there's nothing up yet. To not see anything, saying it's Christmas time, or almost Christmas time, it's kind of odd for sure."
The spokesperson for Sundance Square said that decorations would be coming, but specific details are still being planned.
