History
The very first Singing Christmas Tree was presented at the Governor's Hall, located on the old State Fairgrounds. A brand-new and much sturdier steel structure was designed and completed in time for the Tree in 1959. That year, the production was performed in the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, where it was to remain for the next sixteen years. To accommodate the growing audience, the venue was then moved to the Sacramento Community Center. In 1979, Pastor Glen Cole's desire was to see the Tree performed at the church located at Howe Ave & Fair Oaks. Finally, in 1984 the tree moved to it's current location at Capital Christian Center. Each year hundreds of volunteers spend thousands of hours preparing and rehearsing for the Singing Christmas Tree. They assume various roles - singers and musicians, dramatists and dancers, set builders and costume designers. Celebrating the 60th Annual Singing Christmas Tree this year.
