      Bring family and friends to the free Mayor’s Annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, 5:00 – 7:00 pm, Friday, Dec. 1, at City Hall, 100 N. Garfield Ave.

      By News Desk

      The event will feature local singers and dancers, crafts for kids provided by Armory Center for the Arts, light refreshments, and a special appearance by jolly ol’ Santa Claus. Have your camera handy to capture some festive holiday moments at several photo stops available throughout the event.

      Mayor Gordo will light the City’s official tree at 6:00 pm, so come early for parking and a prime viewing spot at City Hall.

      Pasadena firefighters will be at the tree lighting ceremony collecting donations of new, unwrapped toys, sports equipment and gift cards for the annual Spark of Love Toy Drive.

      Live entertainment throughout the night will feature performances by local youth groups.

      Viewers can access the live broadcast starting at 5:00 pm on KPAS TV, Charter Spectrum Channel 3, AT&T U-Verse Channel 99, the Pasadena Media website or OTT Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV Pasadena Media apps.

      Tweet your best tree lighting and Santa photos to the city using hashtag #TreeLighting2023, and they’ll share as many as possible.
