Ghirardelli Square Tree Lighting Ceremony

5:30pm

Tourists and locals alike flock to Ghirardelli Square during the festival Holiday Season to see the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Holiday festivities include free live musical entertainment for the entire family throughout the day, including performing Christmas Carolers. Bring the kids along to see Santa Claus at the Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Arrive early for a good spot because it gets VERY crowded. Last year, the square was packed with spectators.

The actual Tree Lighting Ceremony takes place at 5:30pm in the West Plaza of Ghirardelli Square.

The Square's spectacular 35-ft Holiday tree is trimmed with ribbons, ornaments and over 2,500 sparkling lights.
