Description
The event, which is sponsored by the Sanger District Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with the National Park Service, will include a public presentation. A National Park Service representative will speak about the General Grant Tree’s role as a national shrine in memory of the men and women of the Armed Forces who have served, fought, and died to keep America free. A memorial wreath will be placed at the base of the General Grant Tree.
The ceremony will be held at the General Grant Tree, a ¼-mile walk from an adjacent parking lot. Trekkers are encouraged to arrive early as parking is limited for this popular event. Entrance fees to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks will be free on December 8, 2019 to allow people to experience the celebration of the Nation’s Christmas Tree.
