Adults over the age of 21 who bring an ornament to decorate the tree can trade for a glass of mulled wine.
Director of marketing at Mainstreet Ventures Restaurant Group, Kimberly Sheldon, said the event is a way for the company to show gratitude and appreciation for its customers.
“Giving back to the community that has shown us so much support over the years is incredibly important to us at Mainstreet Ventures Restaurant Group,” Sheldon wrote A4 via email. “There is no better time than Thanksgiving weekend to kick off the holidays and show our gratitude to our guests.
“We have so many loyal guests in this town. The Tree Lighting Ceremony gives us an opportunity to connect with them and their loved ones on a different level. This event is magical and heartwarming to me. I hope we carry on this tradition forever!”
Last year, a staff member ordered an oversized tree by mistake and hilarity ensued when the team worked together with passersby to hoist the tree to the rooftop. Read that story here.
