What to Expect at the Magic Tree in 2022

The holiday season is here which has many of us looking for ways to slow down, establish traditions, and spend time together. The Magic Tree at The Crossing is the perfect place to make cherished memories this Christmas.
The tree is located in The Crossing’s courtyard and can be seen from Grindstone Parkway. The 85-foot Sycamore tree is adorned in 38 miles of LED Christmas lights. The over 200,000 lights represent each person in Boone County illustrating how, when we all work together, the result can be something not just beautiful, but magical.
