ANTHEM, AZ \u2014 It\u2019s that time of year again: Outlets North Phoenix is setting up its iconic giant Christmas tree for the 24th year!<\/p>\n

A 70-foot-tall fresh-cut tree is coming from the Shasta-Trinity National Forest on the California-Oregon border, arriving at the retail center in Anthem on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The tree, coined as the tallest fresh-cut tree in the state, will be decorated with thousands of ornaments, 10,000 LED lights, and a three-foot copper star.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a weeks-long process that involves hundreds of hours of work, specially designed industrial wires to keep it steady, fire retardant, and more.<\/p>\n

According to a spokesperson for the annual event, more than two dozen saplings from the tree will be planted to replenish the area where it was cut. <\/p>\n

There will be a tree-lighting ceremony and free concert on Saturday, Nov. 15, starting at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

American Idol contestants Stefan Benz and Drew Ryn are scheduled to perform this year. <\/p>\n
