Wow! The star-studded evening tree lighting is a must see for locals and visitors to Napa Valley. Just one day after Meritage Resort's ice skating rink opens, it is graced with an appearance from Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi, along with a cast of renowned characters - Snoopy & friends, Santa Claus, Frozen's Anna, Elsa & Kristoff, Aurora & Prince Phillip of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Tangled, plus dignitaries and more tree-lighting celebrants.

Starting at 4:15 p.m. a full schedule of events begins with the lighting of the tree at 5:30 p.m., followed by a skate show, and concluding with a concert with Entourage The Band.

An ice-skating appearance from gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi, plus Snoopy and friends, a visit from Santa, and a special LIVE musical performance make this annual tradition a community favorite.
