About this adventure

The City of Mountain View lights the community tree at Civic Center Plaza on Monday, December 7. The city lists local performances, tributes to multicultural traditions, free refreshments, a train ride, games, crafts, and an appearance from Santa, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The celebration is free and open to the public. It shares the 500 Castro Street civic campus with the performing arts center, but it is an outdoor plaza night rather than a ticketed stage show. The city's tree-lighting page is linked for more information. Sponsorship is offered to businesses and is not an admission fee.
