Annual Christmas Tree Lot Opens at the YMCA

The annual tradition will begin on Dec. 1, at the Palisades-Malibu YMCA.

A community tradition since the 1970’s, Palisades-Malibu YMCA will proudly open its Annual Christmas Lot on Thursday, December 1. Offering a plentiful selection of fresh cut fir trees ranging from 5’ – 12’ tall, all tree sale proceeds will benefit the Palisades-Malibu Y’s camps, youth and afterschool programs.
“We’ve worked really hard to ensure we have a great inventory of beautiful and healthy trees,” said Palisades-Malibu YMCA’s Jim Kirtley. “The Tree Lot is more than a fundraiser for us, as it really fulfills our mission of strengthening communities by bringing so many of our neighbors together in celebration of the holidays.”

To celebrate the Tree Lot opening, the Y will host a one-day only Holiday Glass Sale on December 3rd from 10AM – 4PM. With tree decorating activities scheduled throughout the day, the evening will conclude with a special tree lighting ceremony at 4:30PM.
