ABILENE - For more than 50 years, Abilene’s Public Works Department has cut and installed cedar trees in yards along Buckeye Avenue and Northwest Third Street.

Residents and businesses are then encouraged to decorate the more than 200 trees for passersby to enjoy.

“Christmas Tree Lane is one of the great attributes that make Abilene, Abilene,” said Julie Roller Weeks, Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau director. “When people visit, they frequently comment about the tree-lined streets and enjoy seeing the lights and decorations.”

Christmas Tree Lane is scheduled to open Dec. 3.

Christmas Tree Lane is one of many holiday events scheduled in Abilene this year. See a full schedule of holiday events at www.AbileneKansas.org/Christmas
