Bring The Family to the Mayor’s Holiday Tree
Lighting Dec. 6 at City Hall
11/28/19
Join Pasadena Mayor Terry Tornek for a City Holiday Tradition: the Mayor’s Annual Tree Lighting Celebration, 5-7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 6, 2019, at City Hall, 100 N. Garfi eld Ave.

Bring family and friends to Pasadena’s free celebration featuring local singers and dancers, crafts for kids provided by the Armory Center for the Arts, free light refreshments and a special appearance by Ol’ Santa Claus. The Mayor lights the City’s Offi cial Tree at 6 p.m., so come early for parking and a stroll over to historic City Hall.

Festive photo stops will also be available during the event to capture the spirit of the season. Bring your own cameras to snap a special holiday picture.

This year more than ever, please fi nd it in your hearts to help fi ll one of the Pasadena Fire Department’s paramedic ambulances—and make our fi refi ghters smile—by bringing a new, unwrapped toy or sports equipment for gifts to less fortunate boys or girls as part of the annual Spark of Love Toy Drive. We need your help and your donations, please.

Great live entertainment throughout the night includes, by popular demand, a triumphant return performance from the thundering Wilson Middle School Drum Corps! Plus, those adorable kids from the City’s Tiny Tots Troupe; and Pasadena’s Afterschool Adventures Program will be there too. Pasadena High School LEARNs Orchesis Dance Troop and Elements Dance Space will perform exciting dance routines. The evening just wouldn’t be complete without our favorite emcees, our own Dynamic Duo of retired police Lt. Rodney “Rodney D” Wallace and Sgt. Glen Thompson of the Pasadena Police Department! 

We’re social, how about you? Tweet your best Tree Lighting and Santa photos to us @PasadenaGov with the hashtag #TreeLighting2019 and we’ll share as many as possible.
