The heart of Montecito will be festive as families, friends and four-legged companions gather for the annual holiday tree lighting on Coast Village Road.

The celebration brings together multiple generations! Be sure to come out in your holiday attire, to usher in the season with the community spirit that makes Montecito so special.

This year the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony quartet will fill the air with melodic tunes and other special performances and caroling will make this a “not to miss” event. Miramar will be back with the always popular hot chocolate cart, with children and adults returning for seconds and thirds of the peppermint and traditional marshmallow-topped treats.
