Winter Lights Tree Lighting Celebration 2025

Join us in Downtown Santa Rosa’s Courthouse Square the day after Thanksgiving for an evening of festive fun for the whole family! Celebrate the season with live entertainment, local food and gift vendors, and family-friendly activities. Don’t miss visits and photos with Santa Claus, Snoopy, and Redwood Credit Union’s Reddy the Redwood, plus hands-on crafts, a “Letters to Santa” station, and holiday games.

Catch performances by School of Rock Santa Rosa, Santa Rosa Ballet, and Transcendence Theatre Company, and enjoy the official lighting of Santa Rosa’s holiday tree. The Santa Rosa Growlers will be on hand to spread cheer, while Mackenzie Miller of 95.9 The Krush keeps the energy flowing as emcee.

Give back this season with Redwood Credit Union’s food donation and Secret Santa programs, and visit Common Ground Society for family-friendly activities and a calming space for children.

Make getting here easy and green—ride free with Redwood Bikeshare using promo code WINTERLIGHTS for two 45-minute rides!

Let’s light up the Square, enjoy the music, and spread holiday cheer together.
