Lights Up!

Crowd of people around an illuminated redwood tree

When: Wednesday, December 3, 2025 6pm

Where: Piedmont Community Hall, 711 Highland Avenue

Who: Everyone is welcome

How much: Free

Kick off the winter holiday season at Piedmont's annual celebration of light.

Originally started in 1969 as the tree lighting ceremony, Lights Up evolves and expands this cherished tradition. Join us for:

  • illumination of the 80-foot redwood tree
  • menorah lighting
  • latkes, cider, and hot cocoa
  • seasonal activities for all ages coordinated by the Piedmont Recreation Department
  • photos with Santa Claus inside Community Hall

Lights Up! is made possible by the support of the Piedmont Beautification Foundation (PBF). PBF obtains, installs, and removes the colorful LED lights that adorn the illuminated tree each year.
