The public is invited to celebrate the 7th annual lighting of the tallest Christmas tree in Long Beach on Nov. 30.
Mayor Robert Garcia described the upcoming tree lighting event on Twitter as “a wonderful celebration for the whole family.”
The celebration will take place from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and the tree will be lit at around 6 p.m., at the Terrace Theater Plaza, 300 E Ocean Blvd.
The event will also feature fireworks, train rides for kids, holiday photo booths, live music and Mr. and Mrs. Claus. The venue will be decorated with over 150,000 twinkling lights.
Everyone over 2 years of age will need to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter the event.
Attendees will be able to purchase meals from food trucks at the location.
Free on-site parking will also be provided.
The tree lighting will be live streamed on the City’s YouTube, Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as at lbtv3.com.
If you miss the tree lighting in November, the Cities of Signal Hill and Long Beach will hold another tree-lighting on Wednesday, Dec. 1 at the Signal Hill Public Library. Live entertainment begins at 5:30 p.m. and the tree lights at 6 p.m.
After the tree lighting, visits with Santa, activities and treats will be available. The event is free of charge.
