If your in the New York City area tomorrow, head on over to the NY Stock Exchange Tree Lighting Ceremonies. The festivities are from 3-6PM ET. The first NYSE holiday tree lighting took place in 1923 and has taken place annually. (Interestingly, the tree was not lit in 1973 because of the energy crisis.) Over the years, the NYSE holiday tree lighting ceremonies have grown to include participation by world-class celebrities and musicians as well as listed companies. The NYSE tree lighting ceremony is one of the oldest in New York City and the NYSE holiday tree is one of the most visited attractions during the holidays.

David Nail will be performing “Turning Home“, “Chestnuts Roasting” and “White Christmas“. David is scheduled to take the stage around 4:15 PM/ET. Also scheduled to attend Collective Soul, Kate Voegele, Dancing With The Stars Kym Johnson, Billy Ray Cyrus, and many more. No holiday celebration would be complete without Santa Claus.

Your not in the area, but still wish you could see David perform? Well Got Country? has you covered. You can watch the webcast of the entire ceremony by clicking here
