HAYS, Kan. – A long-time campus tradition is returning to Fort Hays State University.

After a drive-through ceremony last year, the FHSU family is looking forward to bringing back the in-person holiday tree-lighting ceremony in front of Sheridan Hall. The event, open to the public, is set for 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 30.

The university’s Dickens Carolers will perform. A variety of activities will follow the tree lighting, including crafts and cookie decorating, a coloring page contest, carriage rides, and photos with Santa Claus. The first 200 people will have the opportunity to receive a holiday-themed FHSU long-sleeved T-shirt.

The event is sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement, Fraternity and Sorority Life, the Office of the President, and Campus Intramurals.
