It’s that time of year again, and Martin Feinberg, Realtor, is looking forward to the many local holiday celebrations that happen in and around the Culver City Real Estate area in December. One such event is the annual lighting of the holiday tree, which is being billed this year as The Tree Lighting Sled-Tacular.
The City of Culver City’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services (Culver City PRCS) and Culver City Downtown Business Association are joining forces on Thursday December 5 to create an impressive holiday kickoff celebration for residents of all ages.
According to the City’s website, The Tree Lighting Sled-Tacular will be taking place from 5 to 8 PM in Culver City’s Town Plaza (outdoors at the intersection of Culver Boulevard and Van Buren Place). The event is free.
Culver City Mayor Meghan Sahli-Wells stated, “There isn’t a better way to gear up and celebrate the holidays than with our annual tree lighting. A product of a number of local groups, the Sled-Tacular is a fine example of Culver City coming together to kickoff the holidays with celebration and community. I look forward to seeing everyone at the festivities!”
