## About

Los Altos Village Association holds the Holiday Tree Celebration in Veterans Community Plaza at the corner of Main and State Streets. Local students provide music and performances, and trolley cars ride around downtown. After the performances, Santa Claus is expected for pictures until 8 p.m. The page tells families to bring their own camera. The plaza corner is the same Main and State location used for other LAVA holiday nights, so visitors can pair the lighting with a downtown walk. No separate photo package or reservation line is printed for Santa.
