Special Christmas Tree Arrives from Nova Scotia

Christmas Tree in Boston Common - Massachusetts State House in Background

A very special Christmas tree is expected to arrive at Boston Common on Tuesday, November 21 (to be confirmed) - probably at around 11am.  (The exact arrival time and date are always subject to last-minute changes based on weather, travel time.) 

Look for this year's tree near the Visitors Information Center at 139 Tremont Street.  By tradition, it is always the first tree on the Common to be lit - check Boston Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremonies for the exact time and date.

Although Boston fills up with displays of beautiful Christmas trees throughout November and December, this tree is especially meaningful because it symbolizes the close friendship between Nova Scotia, Canada, and Boston. 

Citizens of Nova Scotia send a huge, beautiful tree to the people of Boston every year in remembrance of Boston's help after the horrific explosion of a munitions ship in Halifax Harbor on December 6, 1917 killed almost 2,000 people and injured another 9,000.  Within 24 hours of the disaster, a train loaded with supplies and emergency personnel from Boston arrived in Nova Scotia - the first outside help to reach the disaster scene, and the last to leave.

This year's special tree is a 45 foot white spruce from Christmas Island, Cape Breton in Nova Scotia, and will arrive by tractor trailer.  The tree will display almost 7,000 multi-colored lights and will light up as part of the city's big Tree Lighting Ceremony (check here for the exact date/time).  The LED star at the top measures four feet in height, and is hoisted in place by a crane.
