The Grove Tree Lighting 2019

To kick off the holiday season in Los Angeles, The Grove hosted its annual celebration, “Christmas at the Grove”, featuring a visit from Santa Claus, fireworks, and the lighting of the 100 foot-tall Christmas tree, festively adorned with 15,000 twinkling lights and 10,000 glittering ornaments. The award-winning retail, dining and lifestyle destination transformed into a magical winter wonderland as host and performer Leslie Odom Jr. entertained more than 32,000 Angelenos with a lively show featuring an appearance from Ashley Tisdale and performances by Aloe Blacc, Tori Kelly, The Tenors and Isaac Slade of The Fray. Music for the evening was directed by Nick Rosen and his band. Produced by Mirrored Media and presented by CITI, the highly-anticipated event was enjoyed by Kate Beckinsale, Kate Mara, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Caruso Founder and CEO, Rick J. Caruso and more. The night culminated in a surprise visit from Santa Claus and a special Los Angeles snowfall.
