The 2026 official Christmas tree for downtown Youngstown arrived in Central Square in downtown Youngstown on Thursday.
The 65-foot-tall Norway Spruce was donated by Perry Marlowe from Hillman Street and weighs 7,500 pounds.
Diamond Steel Construction assisted the city’s Parks and Recreation Department with removal and delivery. It is one of the biggest holiday trees in the city’s history, officials said.
It will be lighted after the city’s Holiday Parade and Light Up Night on Nov. 28. The parade is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. followed by a drone light show at 7:30 p.m. with the tree lighting directly after that show.
