This cherished annual holiday tradition is enjoyed by thousands of residents and visitors. Downtown merchants open their doors for a festive evening of holiday shopping and complimentary refreshments.
Downtown Benicia will come alive with carolers, costumed characters from My Once Upon A Time and live entertainment from Kris Kringle & The Mistletones. The tree lighting can be viewed at approximately 6:30pm, at the foot of First Street thanks to the support of the Benicia Community Foundation. Wine and beer will be served at Benicia Main Street, 90 First Street.
First Street will be completely closed to traffic, allowing visitors to stroll the street, enjoying shopping, singing, and holiday cheer! Free shuttle bus service to and from City Park will be provided by SolTrans.
