New for this year, our Willow Glen tree will have even more lights to really light up Lincoln Ave!!
1) 2,442 feet of lights equaling 4,700 commercial grade LED lights!
2) Even with all those lights, it is the equivalent of only four 100 watt bulbs!
3) This year we have a New Tree - one that is visible down Lincoln Ave.
4) Local businesses are coming together to bring more Holiday Cheer to Willow Glen
Performances by:
