"HOLIDAYS BY THE SEA"
DECEMBER 6, 4 - 8 PM

San Pedro Town Square and Promenade
(6th St. & Harbor Blvd.)

Welcome the Holiday Season with family and friends at this free, festive, and fun night! Enjoy delicious hot cocoa along with sweet and savory treats while the San Pedro City Ballet brings scenes from The Nutcracker to life! Then, gather 'round for the Official Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony. Kids and adults alike are invited to enjoy real snow play, take photos with Santa, watch a holiday-themed marionette puppet show, and experience performances by classic Victorian Christmas Carolers, along with other holiday activities. For the grand finale, watch boats alight with holiday cheer glide by in sparkling displays reflected on the water at this year’s annual LA Holiday Harbor Boat Parade! Park at either of the two free parking lots located at 22nd & Miner Streets or in downtown San Pedro, and then hop on the Red Trolley and get dropped off at the event.
