ANNUAL DOWNTOWN CULVER CITY HOLIDAY TREE LIGHTING SLED-TACULAR, LA

It's snowing in Downtown Culver City! The Annual Holiday Tree Lighting Sled-tacular returns to Town Plaza with 50 tons of fresh snow and a full evening of family fun — a cherished 25-year tradition for thousands of visitors.

The festivities open with a winter wonderland festival: 50 tons of fresh snow plus sledding, snowmen and carnival games. The centerpiece is the Tree Lighting Ceremony, a 30-minute show with singing and music by 250 local students and a countdown led by the Mayor and surprise guests as they light the 25-foot holiday tree. Round out the night with visits with Santa in front of the historic Culver Studios mansion.

Free popcorn and hot chocolate are offered on Town Plaza throughout the evening. The Tree Lighting Ceremony is also live streamed at 6:00 PM PT. Free and open to the public; free sledding requires a waiver and wristband, so pre-register before you arrive.
