Christmas officially arrives at The Core Thursday night.

Calgary’s largest Christmas tree, standing at 45 feet, will be turned on during the 4th annual ‘Twas the Night holiday celebration.

Jazz musician Matt Dusk will entertain the crowd, who are being encouraged to wear holiday retro wear from the 1960’s. Prizes will be awarded for best dressed.

The event is benefiting the YMCA’s Strong Kids Campaign.

Last year over $60,000 was raised for local non-profit organizations.

The festivities start at 6:30 p.m.
