Lighting of the Tree

Tactic recently held a Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The tree has been up in the town square since the middle of October (Guatemalans really get a jump on Christmas) but had remained dark until last night. Gallo, the “famous’ Guatemala beer company, donated trees to 28 of the 332 municipalities in the country (Tactic obviously being one of them), and then held a joint ceremony last night to light all the trees at the same time. Tactic’s little fiesta was fit with a band, a message from the Vice-Mayor, and a rather impressive fireworks show. Below is a short clip of the tree being lit.
