2025 Holiday Tree Lighting at Jack London Square
November 29, 2025 @ 5:45 pm – 8:00 pm

Ring in the holiday season with Jack London Square’s annual tree lighting festivities, from 5:45 pm to 8 pm located at the plaza near Plank.
The evening’s two dazzling laser light shows will feature multi-colored laser beams shining in all directions. And no matter what the weatherman predicts for Oakland that evening, just after the laser light shows, Jack London Square will experience the wonder of a beautiful white snowfall as faux snow cascades from the sky to give attendees the full holiday experience.
During the event, attendees will also enjoy taking selfies with Santa, Frosty, and a Christmas Teddy Bear (bring your own cell phone or camera), as well as a Peppermint Princess strolling through the center. Special performances by the non-profit cultural education organization Oaktown Jazz Workshops (OJW) and the Lyric Performing Arts Academy will add to the festive occasion.
This event is free and open to the public; no pre-registration is required
