NBC10, Telemundo 62 and NBC Sports Philadelphia celebrated the holidays in style with the 30th anniversary of the holiday tree lighting ceremony at the Independence Blue Cross RiverRink Winterfest! 

The annual event on the Delaware River Waterfront featured dancing and live music from local artists Ashlee Keating, Dylan Zangwill, Melanie Richardson and child star Zoe Erianna.

During the event, we flipped the switch on a 45-foot-tall tree decked out with 14,000 lights.

The event ended with a fireworks show above Penn’s Landing. 

The ceremony was hosted by NBC10 News anchors Erin Coleman, Keith Jones and Lucy Bustamante, NBC10 First Alert Weather meteorologist Bill Henley, NBC10 traffic reporter Sheila Watko, Telemundo 62 reporter Shaira Arias and NBC Sports Philadelphia reporter Taryn Hatcher.
