Bromberg tree will once again anchor holiday decorations in Mountain Brook Village

For nine years now, the center of attention of Mountain Brook Village during the holidays has been Bromberg’s iconic Christmas tree.

Arriving on a flatbed truck a few days before Thanksgiving, it takes three or four days for crews to get the tree in place and lit by the official start of the Christmas shopping season.

The tree, which is usually around 30 feet tall, requires a crane to get into place in the middle of the busy village.

This year, Ricky Bromberg said the team is working to make sure they find the right combination of white and colorful lights to match the fine-tuned aesthetic they’ve achieved over the last few years.

“We try to make it look identical every year,” Bromberg said.

The tree will welcome shoppers to the Mountain Brook Village Holiday Open House on Thursday, Dec. 3. Bromberg said his store will participate in the event, as well as other trunk shows throughout the holiday season.

He said Bromberg’s also continued their tradition of lighting and decorating a tree at Children’s of Alabama, which was auctioned off in November to support the hospital.
