Carlsbad Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony

December 5, 2010

On the first Sunday of every December, the Carlsbad Village Community celebrates their annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony. The Carlsbad Village Tree Lighting Ceremony was hosted by Carlsbad Rotary this year and was located at the Shops at Village Faire. This free event in Carlsbad Village featured cider and cookies, storytelling, craft project for the children, photos with Santa, and of course the tree lighting ceremony.  The celebration began today at 2pm with a variety of musical and dance performances from local talent including the Lancer Dancers and a visit from Santa Clause himself. 

The Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony seemed to put everyone in the holiday spirit as smiling kids did crafts and ate cookies while parents drank cider and watched the local talent perform musical and dance routines. The new Carlsbad CA mayor, Matt Hall had the honor of lighting the Christmas Tree this year which took place a little early at about 4:30pm to avoid some possible rainy weather conditions.
