On Wednesday, the White House will hold its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony on the ellipse at President’s Park. It’s a nearly 100-year tradition that involves schlepping a big tree from one the country’s national forests and driving it back to D.C., then holding a lighting ceremony in front of the White House that includes various musical performances (you can see the 2018 performers here). This year, the giant noble fir was taken from the Willamette National Forest in Oregon, and made about 20 stops in communities across the country along the way, according to the Washington Post.

Back in Washington, residents should prepare for some street closures downtown. Here’s a list of closures from the Metropolitan Police Department:
