Clematis by Night Holiday Tree Lighting
Thursday, December 5
Festivities start at 6 p.m.
Save the date for the City of West Palm Beach’s annual holiday tree lighting! After nearly a month-long preparation, “Sandi,” the world’s only 700-ton sand tree will be ready to make her debut. The 35-foot star of the City’s annual Holiday in Paradise campaign will bring merriment and cheer through December 31, including nightly light shows and a cast of supporting characters. Santa will be in attendance to visit with guests and take photos. In addition to the main band, guests can also enjoy strolling a capella singers throughout the event singing holiday songs. Surf’s up for Sandi, as with every year, Sandi’s story will unfold a little bit more this season.

The best way to spread holiday cheer is singing loudly for all to hear! The Bay Kings will sing plenty of holiday music and Top 40 hits for the crowd as they watch Sandi light up for the first time this season. The Bay Kings are sure to bring delight to the audience with their energetic and fun performance.
