Cannery Row Kicks Off a Happy Holiday With Tree Lighting November 23
Annual celebration features musical performances, Santa Claus, and live reindeer!
The 6:00 PM tree lighting is only part of the Monterey Peninsula's biggest holiday party. Live reindeer prance and dance in Bubba Gump Plaza from 3:00-7:00 PM, while Sunset Jazz, the Joyful Tiding Carolers, and other musical acts jingle bells and more in Steinbeck Plaza from 3:00-8:00 PM.
This year's ceremony branches out from the traditional with a dancing tree and the tallest toy soldiers you've ever seen, appearing on Cannery Row from 4:30-6:30 PM.
The holidays' head honcho, the snuggly sleigh rider himself, that huggable ho-ho-ho-er (of course we're talking about Santa Claus!) welcomes kids to his workshop from 6:00-9:00 PM. Families are encouraged to bring their own cameras, as Polaroid pictures will not be taken.
The Cannery Row Tree Lighting Ceremony is free to the public-both the naughty and the nice. Visitors can park free at the Cannery Row Garage at Foam and Wave streets between 5:00 and 9:00 PM.
The fun continues all season on the Row, with Santa in his workshop from 12:00-4:00 PM every weekend until December 23. For additional information, please call 831.649.6690 or visit www.canneryrow.com
