## About

West Palm Beach opens its Holiday in Paradise season with its signature tree lighting on the downtown waterfront: the official illumination of Sandi, the city's holiday tree made of sand. The city describes the evening as a free, family-friendly celebration with live entertainment and seasonal cheer. It runs from 6 to 10 PM on Thursday, Dec 3, around the Waterfront Commons, the Meyer Amphitheatre and Flagler Drive at the foot of Clematis Street.
