Crystal Cove Alliance "Illuminates Newport Beach"

Special Appearance by Santa Claus and Live Performance by Brenna Whitaker Help Ring In the Holidays with Coastal Flair

Crystal Cove Alliance (CCA), the official nonprofit partner of Crystal Cove State Park, will kickoff the holiday season with a unique spin on a fun, family-friendly tradition. The 14th Annual Tree-Lighting Ceremony, which will take place on the sand of the Crystal Cove Historic District on Saturday, Dec. 4, will pay homage to the area’s rich history with retro holiday décor and a live performance by jazz vocalist Brenna Whitaker. The complimentary event, hosted by CCA, is open to the general public.


At sunset, the Cove’s picturesque beach will be illuminated by twinkling lights and decorative ornaments on a statuesque evergreen. The décor will reflect the vintage character of the historic district’s time period between 1935 and 1955. In addition to the tree lighting, the historic district’s seaside cottages will be transformed into a seasonal display of holiday lights, vintage decorations, giant candy canes, a classic cars and the return of “Sandy,” a snowman made out of sand. Children in attendance will be encouraged to build a community of sandy snowmen on the beach.

“We look forward to this tradition every year because it awakens the magical history and old-fashioned holiday spirit at Crystal Cove. We hope Orange County families will join our festivities and become a part of the most unique tree display in Southern California,” said Laura Davick, founder and director of external affairs for CCA. “It is a great way to kick-off the season with family and friends.”
