WHITTWOOD TOWN CENTER TO HOST 2024 TREE LIGHTING CELEBRATION

Whittwood Town Center, an open-air shopping center in Whittier, California (https://whittwoodtowncenter.shopkimco.com), invites the community to its seventh annual Holiday Tree Lighting celebration on Saturday, November 16th, from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Center Courtyard. Following remarks from Whittier’s Mayor Joe Vinatieri, the center will light its magical Whittwood Christmas tree. The Friendly Grinch will kick off the festivities alongside a cast of holiday characters, and Santa and Mrs. Claus will be escorted to the stage by the Whittier Fire Department (as long as no emergencies arise) for a countdown to the tree lighting. Musical performances will be provided by the talented youth from three local schools. The event will also feature hot cocoa, cider and cookies (while supplies last); a holiday parade; meet-and-greets with strolling characters, including Santa, Mrs. Claus and The Grinch; illuminated holiday performers; vintage car displays; holiday-themed selfie opportunities; balloon twisters; and other artistic talent.
