On Friday December 4, 2009, the Atwater Village will once again launch into the spirit of the winter season with the 18th Annual Atwater Village Tree Lighting Ceremony and a “Winter Wonderland” celebration all along Glendale Blvd. With a completely new tree-lighting committee already working like busy elves, this year promises to be the most spectacular in the event’s history.

THE TREE

In the median of Glendale Blvd. as it passes through Atwater Village, towers an 82-year-old California Redwood Tree. At fifty feet tall, this tree can be seen from as far away as the Hyperion Bridge to the West, and serves as a distinct landmark for those traveling from the East. We are especially pleased that we are able to incorporate this living monument into our holiday tradition every season.

THE EVENT

As is past years, the premiere lighting of the Redwood Tree will be accompanied by a ceremony in the Wells Fargo parking lot at 3250 Glendale Blvd. commencing at 6:00 pm., with Santa Claus himself is scheduled to arrive via fire truck, heralding the lighting of the tree at approximately 6:45 p.m.

This year in addition to the traditional tree lighting Glendale Blvd will be turned into a “Winter Wonderland in the Village”, with music, treats, photo opportunities and fun all for all.
