Santa Monica is set to launch the holiday season in festive style with its Official Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, November 21. Hosted in the heart of Downtown Santa Monica, this beloved tradition will bring the community together for an evening filled with holiday cheer and free, family-friendly activities.
Attendees will be treated to a special evening on the 1300 Block of Third Street Promenade, where Santa himself will light the official holiday tree, marking the start of the season. Local choirs, including the Lincoln Middle School Madrigals, Samohi High School Choirs, and the SMC Emeritus Concert Band, will perform alongside a featured act by Westside Ballet, showcasing scenes from the Nutcracker.
Adding to the magic, "snow" will fall on the Promenade, bringing a wintry touch to Santa Monica. Guests can take advantage of free photos with Santa, participate in holiday-themed crafts, sip hot cocoa, and dance the night away as a DJ spins holiday hits. All activities are free and open to attendees of all ages.
