Annual Tree Lighting on the Pond at the Paramount Pond

Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony, which will be live and in person again! The Tree Lighting will kick off the season at the intersection of Paramount Blvd. and Jackson St.  There will also be the annual lineup of entertainment featuring local dancers and musicians. There will also be Santa's special visit and plenty of cookies and hot chocolate available for the crowd.

40 foot Paramount tree is lit at the annual Paramount Tree Lighting Ceremony sponsored by the city and held each year at Paramount Park. In a community that's largely Hispanic with roots grounded deeply in Christmas traditions, the annual ceremony offers an opportunity to take time off of busy schedules and celebrate the traditions of Christmas with family members. The event is a simple festive celebration with snacks, and perhaps a chance to Santa Claus...keep your eyes open wide.
