Baldwin County’s OWA to host fourth annual Christmas tree lighting this Saturday

OWA is ringing in the holiday season in festive fashion this weekend, with its fourth annual Tree Lighting Ceremony to be held Saturday, November 21.

The family entertainment destination in Foley, Alabama, will host a socially distanced Christmas extravaganza, with Saturday’s ceremony to include live entertainment, holiday cheer and more surprises for those in attendance as well as those watching from home via Facebook.

The ceremonial festivities will kick off in the streets of Downtown OWA at 6:00 p.m. CT, per a release.

“With the weather cooling down on the Gulf Coast, we are thrilled to welcome the holiday season once again at OWA,” stated Kristin Hellmich, OWA’s director of Marketing/PR. “Our community has welcomed us into their hearts each and every year and our Christmas Tree Lighting has become a way for us to share a little holiday magic with all of you.”
