Alabama’s official Christmas tree will be delivered to the State Capitol on Tuesday, the governor’s office said.

This year’s tree, donated by Robbins Taylor, Sr., is an Eastern Red Cedar arriving from Letohatchee in Lowndes County.

The tree stands about 35 feet tall and will be displayed on the front steps of the State Capitol building in Montgomery.

Following its delivery, the tree will be decorated throughout the week with lights and other adornments before the traditional Christmas tree lighting ceremony, which is scheduled for Friday at 5:30 p.m.

You are invited to our state’s annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony this Friday! The incredibly talented 151st @AlabamaNG Band will perform this year’s musical selections. Plan to bundle up, wear a mask, social distance & have a good time!? pic.twitter.com/eEk5w0VffJ
