Overview
- The municipality overhauled the tree to a traditional green look with spheres, bows and an enveloping fabric before the public lighting in the Plaza Principal.
- Mayor Janet Cubas scheduled the official lighting for Monday, December 15, as part of a program featuring children’s activities, a school orchestra, Son del Duque and comedian Fernando Armas.
- The Contraloría General de la República reported irregularities in the decoration contract valued at about 21,000 soles and required a corrective-action report within five business days.
- City council members told La República they will seek a 30‑day suspension of Mayor Cubas, alleging she gave untrue information related to an earlier lighting announcement.
- Broader holiday decor around the park includes arches, spheres, plush figures and additional trees, some supported by private companies, with public scrutiny of spending still active.
