Atwater Village Tree Lighting ceremony
Originally uploaded by CD-13

More than 500 people came out to help light the community Christmas tree in Atwater Village. Despite the cool temperature, the crowd enjoyed the students who sang and danced, Christmas carolers, and tasty treats. There was even a special appearance by Santa Claus, who arrived just in time to deliver the switch that turned on the Christmas tree lights.

The Atwater Village neighborhood, and particularly the Chamber of Commerce which sponsors the ceremony, have created a truly wonderful annual event that gets bigger and better every year.
