An annual tree tradition took place at Merrick Park.
7’s Belkys Nerey flipped the switch on the 50-foot tree at the festivities located at 405 Biltmore Way in Coral Gables, Thursday night.
It took a second to light up the night, but the illuminance delivered for the holiday faithful.
There were interactive activities for the kids, including an appearance by Santa himself.
A perfect night with perfect weather and a beautiful way to mark the start of the holiday season.
