Rain Forces Rosenberg To Move Christmas Tree Lighting To Saturday

ROSENBERG, TX -- The weather forecast for Friday has all but guaranteed a rain-soaked evening, and that has forced the City of Rosenberg to change its plans for the annual Rosenberg Christmas Nights Celebration.

However, with a few tweaks to the schedule, the free family event will still go on. It's just happening a day later than expected.

The Christmas Tree Lighting that was scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Friday will be moved to Saturday at 6:00 p.m. at the 3rd Street Art Park in Historic Downtown, but Santa will still be on-hand for indoor photos Friday night at the Railroad Museum and Saturday from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. on 3rd Street near the Christmas Tree.

The Snow Slide, Trackless Train, Decorated Ornament Voting, and Ice Skating Rink have been postponed until Saturday, and will be open from 3:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

For those who have purchased tickets for “Dinner Under the Stars”, this event has also been moved indoors.

Dinner will start at 6:00 p.m. on Friday at the Ol’ Railroad Café, located at 819 2nd Street and CAST Theatrical Co. performance will be upstairs at 830 3rd Street (located next to Roots and Relics).

Please see the attached revised schedule of Rosenberg Christmas Nights Activities. For questions, contact Carrie Kmiec at (832) 595-3520.

The City of Rosenberg wishes everyone a safe, happy, and dry holiday.
