It’s not just a tree; it’s going to become a centerpiece for memories, selfies, and holiday cheer!

A Generous Holiday Gift

What many may not know is that this annual masterpiece comes courtesy of *HEB*, the beloved grocery giant that has been gifting San Antonio with this festive treat for years. In fact, they commit more than $250,000 every year to cover the transportation, decoration, and illumination of the tree. Talk about spreading holiday cheer!

As the tree makes its way to Travis Park, city officials want to keep everyone in the loop about some temporary *road closures*. Pecan Street, between Navarro and Jefferson, will be closed from around 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday. So, if you’re out and about, be sure to plan your route ahead of time to avoid any delays.
