Home to the World’s Tallest Live-Cut Tree, Citadel Outlets will kick off the holiday season with the 18th Annual Tree Lighting Concert on Saturday, Nov. 9. Heralded as a family-friendly holiday tradition, the free concert will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will feature a mix of original pop and holiday musical performances.
The event will culminate with the lighting of the World’s Tallest Live-Cut Tree (115 ft.), as it comes twinkling to life adorned with more than 18,000 multi-colored, energy-efficient LED lights, music by a caroling choir and fluttering snowfall amidst holiday cheers.
This year’s concert MC will be famed radio host of Valentine In the Morning, Sean Valentine. To kick things off, headlining act In Real Life will take the stage for a high-energy performance. Following their set, world-acclaimed music and performing arts ensemble, The All-American Boys Chorus will treat the crowd to classic holiday favorites before being joined on stage by Santa Claus for the lighting of the World’s Tallest Tree. Afterward, John Lindahl and his band will appease the crowd with a set of original songs and other holiday-inspired tunes.
Each year, soon-to-be pop star sensations are discovered on Citadel Outlets’ concert stage. The annual event serves as a first-look opportunity for thousands of L.A. residents and eager holiday shoppers to get up close and personal with performers that will soon be played on pop charts and top countdowns around the world.
