On Saturday December 2, 2023 the 24th annual North City Tree Lighting took place hosted by Les Schwab in the North City Business District.

Supported by the North City Neighborhood Association and the North City Business Association, attendees were entertained by the Around the Sound Community Band as they awaited Santa's arrival.

Santa arrived in the Antlermobile

Santa and his elves arrived by the traditional North City Water District "Antlermobile" and fun was had by all. 

Glowing antlers and a beautiful blue tree shining over all

With a flip of his magic light switch, the tree was illuminated atop the water tower for all to enjoy throughout this Holiday season.
