Kick off the winter holiday season with the City of Piedmont and Piedmont Beautification Foundation at Lights Up Piedmont!, the City’s annual holiday light celebration. This year’s event will begin at 6pm to better accommodate young attendees.

Lights Up Piedmont!
Wednesday, December 4, 6pm
Piedmont Community Hall, 711 Highland Avenue

Join us for:

• Food and drink: Piedmont Boy Scouts will be serving hot cider donated by Piedmont Grocery and hot cocoa courtesy of Heafey-Baum Group. Recreation Department staff will be serving hot latkes donated by Chabad Jewish Center.

• Seasonal activities: Enjoy light-themed crafts and games in the courtyard hosted by Piedmont Girl Scouts and the Piedmont Recreation Department. Attendees can write letters to Santa and pose for photos with Santa inside Community Hall.

• Music, memories, and illumination: The program will begin at 6pm, emceed by Piedmont Beautification President Patty Dunlap. Following a performance from the Piedmont High School Troubadours and remarks from Mayor Jen Cavenaugh, a Make-A-Wish foundation recipient will flip the switch to light up the 80 foot redwood, menorah, Piedmont Park, and Community Hall.

Each attendee will receive an electric candle so they can join the moment and light up Piedmont together as a community.

Now in its third year under this name, Lights Up Piedmont! expands and evolves Piedmont’s beloved holiday tree lighting ceremony, which dates back to 1969, broadening the event to reflect the light-centered celebrations enjoyed by cultures across the globe in the depths of winter.

Lights Up! will take place rain or shine.

Lights Up! made possible through partnership with Piedmont Beautification Foundation

The Piedmont Beautification Foundation (PBF) obtains, maintains, installs, and removes the colorful LED lights that adorn the illuminated tree each year.

Throughout the year, PBF partners with the City to provide research and funding for projects that increase safety, beauty, and function of Piedmont’s extensive and unique public facilities.
