Aliso Viejo Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration Thursday

ALISO VIEJO, CA — The City of Aliso Viejo has airlifted their 20-foot tree on the prepared fountain of the Town Center Plaza, for the 1st Annual Bright Holiday Celebration & Tree Lighting. The celebration takes place Thursday, November 30 at 5:30 PM - 8 PM at the Grand Park at Aliso Viejo Town Center, Hosted by City of Aliso Viejo - Local Government.

"Kick off the holiday season at the City of Aliso Viejo's 1st Annual Bright Holiday Celebration & Tree Lighting event in the Town Center plaza. Bring the entire family for some holiday cheer, photo opportunities, crafts and more! Jolly ole St. Nick will make a special appearance before we light our 22-foot Christmas tree, perched above the fountain."

This project has been a long time in the making, and perhaps you've seen Santa's elves working to lay the ground work for this big local event.

Will you attend? Send us your Holiday Tree Lighting photos to Patch! ashley.ludwig@patch.com to be considered for your Aliso Viejo Patch photo of the week.

First, the building of the foundation at what is normally the Town Center fountain.

Then, a few elves found their way to placing the lights and decorations.

Finally, a huge crane lifted the fully decorated tree into place for all to see!
