OWA is ringing in the holiday season in festive fashion this weekend, with its fourth annual Tree Lighting Ceremony to be held Saturday, November 21.
The family entertainment destination in Foley, Alabama, will host a socially distanced Christmas extravaganza, with Saturday’s ceremony to include live entertainment, holiday cheer and more surprises for those in attendance as well as those watching from home via Facebook.
The ceremonial festivities will kick off in the streets of Downtown OWA at 6:00 p.m. CT, per a release.
