Welcoming the Christmas season in Kissimmee

It’s beginning to look a lot like … well, you know. New Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinosa presided over the city’s tree lighting ceremony at City Hall Saturday.

The city’s tree is back on Church Street after City Hall construction forced moving the tree to the police department in 2023.

The Antonio Thorton Midnight Strummers serenaded attendees at the event, which culminated a festive Small Business Saturday Kissimmee Main Street event in the downtown corridor.
