The annual Tree Lighting Ceremony hopes to reignite the excitement for the winter holidays in Downtown Alhambra. Festivities will take place (live in person) on Friday, December 3, 2021, from 6pm – 9pm, at Edwards Renaissance Plaza, located at 1 East Main St., (on the corner of Garfield and Main).

The program will have Santa riding into town via fire truck, and then lighting the Christmas tree at 6pm. After the ceremony, families can take complimentary photos with Santa during the night. Attendees also get to enjoy adjacent eateries, shopping from local pop-up vendors, and holiday-day themed entertainment from PopRock Academy.

PopRock Academy’s PopRockers, Mini-PopRockers, Hip Hop Crew, K-Pop Troupe, Break Dance Crew, and Glee workshop singers are happy to be back. The young performers, ranging from the ages of seven years old to early teens, will be dancing and performing hit songs and holiday tunes all evening.

In the tradition of spreading holiday cheer, donation boxes will also be available on site to help support the Alhambra Fire Department's Spark of Love Toy Drive. People are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy or gift certificate to cheer up kids, and help those in need.

Equally important, this year’s Tree Lighting event also hopes to spotlight the area’s local businesses that are still trying to recoup economic losses from last year. All are invited to have an electric night of eating, drinking, and shopping to support the Alhambra business community!
