Sandi Tree Lighting

Aerial view of the 2022 Holiday Tree Lighting event

Thursday, December 5, from 6-10:00 p.m.  
FREE on the West Palm Beach Waterfront


The City of West Palm Beach will officially mark the start of the holiday season with the Clematis by Night Holiday Tree Lighting. The celebration will feature music by Uncle Morty’s Rhythm Cream on the NewDay USA Stage, and include FREE entertainment — including strolling entertainment such as stilt walkers, photos with Santa, and much more.

While enjoying the sights and sounds, stop by the Holiday Gift Boutique inside the Lake Pavilion and along Flagler Drive where you can find unique gifts and treasures.  Visit the booths of 40 jewelry, ornament, personal care, clothing and accessory vendors for something special for yourself or your loved ones. 

Celebrate the holidays with a little shopping, great music, good food, a ride on the Ferris wheel, and the brilliant light of Sandi!

Please note: music, activities, and the Holiday Boutique take place until 9:00 p.m., while Sandi shows and rides on Ferris continue until 10:00 p.m.


Beginning the night of the tree lighting, Sandi and the surrounding area will feature synchronized nightly music and light shows every day through Tuesday, December 31, from 6-10:00 p.m. (On New Year's Eve shows will be extended through midnight.) Shows start on the quarter hour except during special events. Rides on Ferris will be also available during the same time for $5 per person per ride, plus taxes and fees, and rules/restrictions apply.
