Jack London Square Holiday Tree Lighting

Jack London Square lights its waterfront tree on Saturday, November 28, 2026, from 5:45 to 8 p.m. in the plaza near Scott’s Seafood. Santa helps with the lighting, then laser shows and faux snowfall follow. The evening is free, with no registration.

Expect photo moments with Santa, Frosty, and costumed characters, plus performances from Oaktown Jazz Workshops and Lyric Performing Arts Academy. Bring your own camera for the character stops.

Stay for the lasers if kids can handle a standing crowd. Duck into nearby restaurants if the plaza packs early.
