This beloved community tradition marks the unofficial start of the festive season, bringing families and friends together for an evening of lights, laughter, and local cheer.

The celebration will feature a variety of activities to delight guests of all ages. Children can take photos with Santa, enjoy a performance by a local children’s choir, and get creative during a special Crayola craft event, where the first 100 young attendees will receive a complimentary activity kit.

Guests can also sip hot chocolate and snack on fresh popcorn while soaking in the sights and sounds of the season. The evening’s highlight will be the lighting of The Paseo’s holiday tree, illuminating the heart of Pasadena with a dazzling display of color and sparkle.

The Paseo’s Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration has become an early local tradition, known for bringing the community together and unofficially kicking off Pasadena’s holiday festivities.

It’s a free, family-friendly event, and the perfect way to welcome the holidays in Pasadena.
