Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration

Macy’s Great (Reusable) Tree in Union Square, standing 83-feet tall and decorated with more than 33,000 lights and 1,100 ornaments will be officially lit this Friday. In addition to the tree lighting there will be a special performance by singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc, known for his hit songs "I Need a Dollar," "The Man" and "Wake Me Up.” For the best viewing location, stop by Union Square early to stake out your spot or nab a table on the Cheesecake Factory patio that overlooks Union Square. The ceremony is expected to begin at 6 p.m. and the tree is scheduled to be lit at 6:40 p.m. While you are there, check out all the pets available for adoption in the San Francisco SPCA holiday windows on the corner of Stockton and O’Farrell.
