We are spoiled for choice with Christmas lights this year! In addition to the downtown’s Grand Illuminations, Long Beach is kicking off the season with its 10th annual Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, which has 500,000 lights, according to the website. Take that, downtown! The party includes performances from The Nutcracker, a capella group SoCal Vocale, musical theater star Terron Brooks, and more, all culminating in a fireworks show. The lights and the tree will be up for all to enjoy through January 1.
