Alhambra Christmas tree lighting ceremony is on

December 2, 2011

The city's annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony will take place on Friday night despite wind damage from the storm.

"The tree is getting a few minor touch-ups, the band is set, Santa is on his way in, & weather looks OK for tonight," wrote Sharon Gibbs, director of business outreach for the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce.

Ceremony is at 5:30 pm at Alhambra Renaissance Plaza at Garfield and Main. There will be free photos with Santa, entertainment and refreshments.
