Relive the fun and excitement of the 2018 celebrations from the Tri-Valley cities of Dublin, Livermore, and Pleasanton. TV30 is broadcasting the holiday events that took place earlier this month at various times throughout the holiday season (see schedule) and all day long on Christmas Day.

"The holiday celebrations that we record and broadcast represent hours of planning by those in charge of organizing them and the participants,” said Melissa Tench-Stevens, Executive Director at TVCTV.

The events may be viewed on Comcast TV Channel 30 and AT&T U-verse via Channel 99 as well as streaming live and via video demand on the TV30 website at www.tv30.org.

Kicking off the festivities was the City of Dublin’s 35th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony that took place on Thursday, November 29th at the Dublin Civic Center.
