Concord Tree Lighting Rescheduled, Now Set For Sunday

CONCORD, CA — Concord's holiday tree lighting and visit from Santa Claus will take place Sunday after being rescheduled from last weekend when wet weather caused city officials to postpone the event.

The event, previously scheduled for Dec. 7, will begin at Todos Santos Plaza on Sunday at 4 p.m. with the arrival of Santa, who will be available until 6 p.m. to hear wishes from children.

There will also be carriage rides around downtown starting at 4 p.m. and various groups will perform between 4:45-6 p.m.

At 5 p.m., the city will honor the Clayton Valley Charter High School football team, which on Friday won its first-ever California Interscholastic Federation state championship, defeating Aquinas High School from San Bernardino 10-7.

The event will finish with a mayor's sing-along at 6:15 p.m. and the tree lighting at 6:30 p.m., according to organizers.

Parking is free at the city's two downtown parking garages and in spaces along streets.
