WCVB’s annual live broadcast of Boston’s official tree-lighting concert is airing tonight starting at 7. In addition to it airing on TV, the event will be live streamed on WCVB.com.

WCVB is Hearst’s ABC affiliate.

The tree-lighting will take place immediately after a live concert with performances by Grammy Award Winning R&B Group, All-4-One, the Boston Pops Gospel Choir, and several other top named acts.

There’s an interesting back story to the tree that will be lit in Boston Common and the Public Garden.

The 53-foot white spruce tree is a gift to Boston from Nova Scotia as a thank you for sending emergency aid to the province after the explosion in Halifax Harbor 100 years ago on Dec. 6, 1917.

Within 24 hours of the disaster a train loaded with supplies and emergency personnel was making its way from Boston to Nova Scotia.

The broadcast is made possible by a partnership with WCVB, Boston Parks and Recreation, The Province of Nova Scotia and Magic 106.7 FM.
