CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Construction crews for the Corpus Christi Downtown Management District (CCDMD) started building the H-E-B Christmas Tree on Monday at Water's Edge Park.

With over 40 volunteers helping out from around the community, new, brighter ornaments will replace the old ones this year in preparation for the official lighting ceremony that will be held on Saturday, December 2 at Water's Edge Park.

The CCDMD has continued its partnership with H-E-B and this will be the sixth year that the H-E-B Christmas Tree has been displayed in Water’s Edge Park.
