About this adventure
Cupertino's Community Tree Lighting at the Civic Center and Library Plaza brings neighbors and families together for an evening of warm holiday camaraderie. The festivities include lively musical performances by local school bands and youth choirs, festive craft tables where kids can build miniature snow globes and tree ornaments, and an exciting countdown to lighting the majestic illuminated holiday tree. Children can visit Santa Claus to share their holiday wishes, take family pictures in festive holiday photo booths, and roast sweet marshmallows over supervised outdoor fire pits while sipping steaming cups of hot cider. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Flat paved walkways and smooth library courtyards allow easy passage for single, double, and all-terrain strollers. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Cupertino Library lobby provides clean, temperature-controlled family restrooms, changing facilities, and comfortable seating. • Age Suitability: Wonderful community gathering for infants, energetic toddlers, school kids, and grandparents. • Sensory Tips: Well-lit outdoor plaza with gentle ambient lighting and open spaces to step back from musical performances.
