For more than two decades, people of all ages have filled the Grand Foyer of the Wortham Theater Center to celebrate the holiday season and watch The Nutcracker's Sugar Plum Fairy illuminate 8,000 lights on the beautiful 25 foot Christmas tree.

Costumed characters from Houston Ballet's The Nutcracker will be on hand to greet the public for the occasion, which has become a holiday tradition for many. Singers from Houston Grand Opera's Opera to Go! and Houston Masterworks Chorus will perform at the event, as well as the quirky Austin-based musical group The Invincible Czars.

Guests can enjoy cookies, punch and holiday snacks at the event.

Where: Wortham Theater Center Grand Foyer (501 Texas Avenue at Smith Street).
