says Mott . “ It makes them feel cozy and comforted with community . I think there are so many things that pull us apart , and everybody ’ s always so busy . For one night of the year , everyone knows they ’ re going down to Living Windows … and we ’ re all one big family that night .”
Festivities will kick off with the annual tree lighting ceremony on the Marion County Courthouse lawn at 6 p . m . on Nov . 19 .
The ceremony will be available to view virtually , and Santa will be making “ Santa Stops ” at various locations around town .
