Macy's Great Tree, Annual Christmas tree installation at Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta, United States.
The illuminated pine tree stands as a central holiday display at the entrance of Lenox Square Mall, reaching heights between 70 and 90 feet.
The tradition started in 1948 at Rich's department store, later transitioning to Macy's ownership in 2006 before its retirement in December 2023.
Thousands of Atlanta residents gathered annually for the tree lighting ceremony, which featured live musical performances, choirs, and fireworks displays.
The tree required specialized equipment and careful installation procedures, leading to a transition from natural to artificial trees in 2013.
Time magazine featured the tree on its cover in 1961, marking its status as one of the largest department store Christmas displays in the Southeast.
