Evolution of Christmas Trees on Tbilisi's Main Street

Rustaveli Avenue turns into a hot spot of Christmas time during the winter season- there are light displays, markets and of course the main Christmas tree that everyone is talking about. Let's take a look at how the design of the symbol of the new year was changing over years: 

2014

This was probably the first most impressive decorations of the city. 

2015

An year after it was more modest but still festive.  

2016

Some more lights were added in 2016 to make it more celebratory, yet minimalistic. 

2017

As we see, some more decorations are added to the tree while keeping a plain style. 

2018

Here we went a little bit overboard, people seemed to have mixed feelings. 

2019

This is probably the most ''bullied'' christmas tree of all times. It was the main topic in the city, as it looked a bit sad in the morning, while it cost couple of millions. 

2020

And here we are, this year's New York style christmas tree, that everybody seems to adore. The street is decorated with symbols of different countries. If we can't travel, countries can travel to us. 

Happy New Year!
