Jack London Square to Host Annual Tree Lighting Celebration

Jack London Square, one of the Bay Area’s top dining, recreation and commercial districts \(www.jacklondonsquare.com\), invites the community to attend the center’s spectacular tree lighting event to be held on Saturday, November 28th from 5:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the plaza near Scott’s Seafood. The event, sponsored and emceed by KTVU-TV, will include the lighting of a spectacular Shasta Fir tree facilitated by Santa Claus himself. Immediately following the tree lighting, the center's two annual laser light shows will illuminate the waterfront, each set to festive, crowd-pleasing holiday music and featuring multicolored laser beams shining in all directions. Regardless of what the weatherman predicts for Oakland that evening, just after the laser light shows, Jack London Square will experience the wonder of a beautiful white snowfall as faux snow cascades from the sky to give attendees the full holiday experience. During the event, attendees will also enjoy taking selfies with Santa, Frosty and a Christmas Teddy Bear \(bring your own cell phone or camera\), as well as seeing a Peppermint Princess strolling through the center. Special performances by the non-profit cultural education organization Oaktown Jazz Workshops \(OJW\) and the Lyric Performing Arts Academy will add to the festive occasion. This event is free and open to the public; no pre-registration is required.
