The Fairmont Washington, D.C. is pleased to announce its seventh  annual tree lighting ceremony in the hotel’s Crystal Garden and lobby beginning at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 1, 2010.  Filled with thousands of tiny white lights, shimmering Christmas trees, and over 30 animated reindeer, the Crystal Garden is the perfect venue to get in the mood for the upcoming holidays!

Take the chill off with complimentary hot chocolate and cookies and listen to the award-winning Georgetown Visitation Madrigals perform holiday classics.

The ceremony, which is open to the public, will benefit The U.S. Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots Program, a non-profit organization that collects toys throughout the holiday season and delivers them to needy youngsters.  Those attending the event are encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy to be donated.
