Hosted by Tahlequah Mayor Ken Purdy and Mrs. Claus, the event is set for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29, and will feature holiday stories, music, and the lighting of Seminary Hall.

Musical guests include the River City Players, Tahlequah High School Show Choir, local elementary school choirs and the Heart O' the Hills Sweet Adelines Choir.

Following a reading of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," children can have their picture taken with Santa Claus, submit their Christmas wish list via the "computer elf," and receive a personalized ornament from Santa's tree.
