ADRIAN — This year will mark the city of Adrian’s 12th annual Comstock Christmas Riverwalk.

Trees for the Riverwalk will be on sale starting Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 8 a.m. 

The cost for a tree is $70, which includes lights. Local businesses, organizations, families, and individuals who purchase trees will decorate them to be displayed in Comstock Park throughout the holiday season.

Tree forms are available at City Hall and on the city website at adriancity.com, along with the link for online sales.  

A total of 550 trees will be available this year, parks and recreation director Jeremiah Davies said. Last year, all the trees were sold within 48 hours of becoming available. 

Davies said the money from tree purchases and sponsorships goes into a dedicated fund that covers the cost of the trees and all related expenses, such as electrical repairs in the park, replacement of lights, cords, decorations, and supplies.

The city does not directly fund the Riverwalk, but does provide support in the form of labor by Parks and Recreation and Department of Public Works employees.

The Riverwalk will be lit in a ceremony that will coincide with Adrian First Fridays on Dec. 5.  The trees will stay up until early January.
