Augusta University kicked off the holiday season Tuesday evening with the annual tree lighting outside the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre. Families enjoyed inflatables, crafts, photos with Santa, food trucks, and a holiday train before the campus tree lit up the night. The free event drew a large crowd and filled the lawn with music, lights, and winter-themed activities.
