Deets: The holiday season officially returns to Los Angeles as The Grove’s beloved 100-foot white fir Christmas tree makes its grand arrival early Tuesday morning, October 28. Specially selected from the Mt. Shasta region of California, the majestic, 80-year-old tree will make its journey from The Original Farmers Market down the length of First Street before being carefully hoisted into place at The Park by a giant crane – a treasured tradition that has delighted Angelenos for more than two decades.

Each year, locals and visitors alike gather at the renowned shopping, dining and lifestyle destination to witness the arrival of the spectacular tree, which will be adorned with more than 15,000 twinkling lights and 10,000 shimmering ornaments. The towering fir transforms The Grove into a true winter wonderland – a hallmark moment that signals the start of Southern California’s most magical time of year.

Details on Caruso’s cherished traditions and family-friendly seasonal programming, including Tree Lighting Celebrations, Santa photo moments, nightly snowfalls and more, will be shared in the coming weeks – ushering in a season of joy, wonder and community. 

Hint for the Average Socialite: This event is free and open to the public.
