Every Saturday evening from November 21 through December 26, National Harbor holds a holiday tree light show with fireworks at 5:30 p.m. in the heart of its Waterfront District. The 60-foot RGB tree comes to life with a custom light show set to a holiday medley recorded by the United States Air Force Band, and the show is followed by fireworks; the event listing runs from 5:30 to 5:45 p.m. After the 5:30 lighting, the tree show repeats every half hour until 9 p.m. On other evenings from November 7 through January 3, National Harbor runs the same tree light show every half hour from sunset to 9 p.m., with no fireworks listed. The listing gives 150 National Plaza as the location. National Harbor does not list an admission price for the show.
