Lighting of the Forum & Santa's Arrival
The holiday season officially gets underway with "The Lighting of the Forum" -- a festive evening of fun for the whole family at The Forum Carlsbad on Saturday, November 24 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The 16th Annual "Lighting of the Forum" will include a live stage show featuring “Upstream” -- Holiday music with a Caribbean sound from 6 to 7 p.m., Santa's Grand Arrival at 7:20 p.m. and Holiday Light Show and Magical Snowfall just after Santa flips the switch to light the tree. Santa will be welcomed in style with an escort by members of the La Costa Canyon High School Marching Band. Complimentary refreshments will be served after the tree lighting provided by some of the restaurants at The Forum Carlsbad. Prize drawings, held after the tree lighting and throughout the rest of the evening, will give guests the chance to get a jump on their holiday shopping or just to treat themselves! Once Santa fulfills his tree lighting duties and oversees the Holiday Light Show and Magical Snowfall, he will visit with children on the stage for the rest of the event listening to gift requests.
