Join Carmichael Recreation & Park District for their Annual Tree Lighting at Carmichael Park, on Thursday, Dec. 3rd from 5 to 8 p.m. Each year the Carmichael Recreation and Park District lights up a Coastal Redwood at Carmichael Park to kick off the holiday season. The tree stands approximately 45"47 feet tall and can be seen nightly from Fair Oaks Boulevard through the holiday season. The event features live music from the River City Concert Band, free arts and crafts for the kids, vendors, and plenty of holly jolly fun for all.

Make sure to bring your appetites too! SactoMoFo will be on hand with plenty of food trucks to help satiate appetites big and small. Participating food trucks include Drewski’s, Chando’s Tacos, The Culinerdy Cruzer, Rudys on the Roll, Buckhorn Grill Sacramento, Wandering Boba, The Cupcake Lady, Bacon Mania, and OMG! Yogurt.

Santa Claus will also be at the event to help kick off the festivities and will be available from 5 to 8 p.m. for visits and photos. Photos with Santa are an additional fee and families are asked to provide their own camera. Families who bring in a canned good to donate can take a picture with Santa at no charge (one can per photo). All canned goods collected at the event will be donated to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services Spirit of Giving food drive.

Admission to the event is free. Special thanks to event sponsors including Carmichael Kiwanis Club and the Carmichael Chamber of Commerce. For more information, visit carmichaelpark.com or call (916) 485-5322.
