Tree lighting in Fremont Park on December 5

Ring in the holiday season with a festive “winter wonderland” themed event in downtown Menlo Park on Friday, December 5, from 5:30 to 7:00 pm in Fremont Park.

Enjoy free family-friendly entertainment, youth performances, hot cocoa (quantities limited) and the tree lighting. A beautiful Menlo Park oak tree will be in the spotlight as the beloved pine tree was “retired” last year.

Local shops along Santa Cruz Avenue will be open.
