The Mayor's Holiday Celebration complete with holiday entertainment, the lighting of the official holiday tree and fireworks will take place on Friday, December 3, 2010, 6 p.m. at City Hall, 901 Bagby, 77002. The featured entertainer will be Grammy Award winner Eddie Levert of The O'Jays. The O'Jays have celebrated R&B success with six top ten singles and a multitude of enduring and soulful gems, including the hit song Love Train.

Please bring your entire family as well as a new unwrapped toy to the Reliant Energy Booth to make the holiday brighter for a child this season! Also, have your photo taken with Santa or one of the many Houston Ballet characters from The Nutcracker.
