"It will be a night of light and illusion with music, fireworks, projections and live musical performances of the groups Funambulista and Belter Souls", said José Ballesta, who indicated that "there will be a surprise that we will reveal soon".
The Tree will have thematic spaces that will allow you to immerse yourself in two of the most special moments of the festivities: 'The Birth of Jesus', with a replica of the baroque nativity scene of Salzillo in real size, and 'La Noche del Roscón y los Reyes Magos' This year the leisure areas around the Tree have been extended with two new recreation and rest areas with artificial turf and wifi.
Murcia will welcome Christmas on Saturday, December 1 with the inauguration of the Great Tree of the Circular.
The City Council has already begun the work for its assembly.
"The Tree, 40 meters high with a 5 meter dome culminated by a Christmas Star, has become a symbol of Christmas Murcia, which hundreds of thousands of families attend during the holidays to enjoy performances, games , children's workshops and the different shows of light and music ", reported José Ballesta.
The grand opening on Saturday 1 will begin at 6.30 pm, with a show of music, fireworks, light projections and live musical performances.
"We will be accompanied by the groups from Murcia Funambulista and Belter Souls, plus a surprise that we will unveil in the coming days," said the mayor, who was accompanied by the presentation of members of the Municipal Corporation and representatives of the companies sponsoring the opening of the Tree: Cablemurcia, Grupo Zambudio, Televisión Murciana and Hospital Mesa del Castillo.
This year the leisure areas around the tree have been extended with two new recreation and rest areas with artificial turf and free wifi.
In addition, the environment of the Tree will be warmer thanks to the installation of heating plates.
There will also be recreated two themed areas with large decorative elements that will allow you to immerse yourself in two of the most special moments of Christmas: 'The night of illusion: the birth of Jesus', a replica of the baroque nativity scene by Francisco Salzillo , which will be inside the Tree, and 'The night of illusion: the Kings of the East arrive', which collects every detail of the Night of the Roscón and can be seen on the outside of the Tree.
The Christmas light will materialize thanks to 220,000 LED points of ultra low consumption and four guns that allow to project on the infrastructure a tree of light up to 800 meters high.
There will also be snow and fog effects around the tree.
