Trek to the Nation's Christmas Tree

Sanger's signature December tradition, gathering each second Sunday at the General Grant Tree in Kings Canyon National Park for musical performances and a wreath-laying ceremony. It's the direct source of Sanger's "Nation's Christmas Tree City" identity, tracing back to 1926 when the U.S. Department of the Interior officially dedicated the tree. Attending requires the drive out to Kings Canyon itself rather than anything happening in Sanger proper, so plan for the distance and December mountain conditions.
