Addison Circle will present their annual Holiday Tree Lighting event, turning the park into a winter wonderland filled with holiday magic, featuring a performance by Emerald City All Stars, who will play a mix of holiday tunes and the high-energy hits for which they are known. Visitors can also enjoy carriage rides and a special Holiday Wish Floating Lantern release into the Water Gardens.

There will be s’mores and hot cocoa stations plus photo ops with Santa Claus. Mayor Bruce Arfsten will be on hand to light the tree, which will feature lights that dance along to Christmas tunes, including the classic "Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree." Visitors can bring new and unwrapped adult socks, blankets, canned food and toys to donate to DART's Stuff a Bus.
