JACK LONDON SQUARE INVITES THE COMMUNITY TO ITS SPECTACULAR TREE LIGHTING EVENT
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 from 5:45 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, December 7th, in the Plaza near Plank. The event, sponsored and emceed by KTVU-TV, will include the lighting of a 55-foot Shasta Fir tree facilitated by Santa Claus himself. Immediately following the tree lighting will be the center’s annual laser light show set to festive, crowd-pleasing holiday music. The evening’s two dazzling laser light shows will feature multi-colored laser beams shining in all directions. And no matter 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 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. To learn more, visit www.jacklondonsquare.com.
