San Francisco Christmas Guide › San Francisco Christmas Lights 2026
The San Pablo Community Center hosts this community holiday gathering, built around a holiday tree lighting. The Community Services Department puts it on, and it's open to all ages.
Kids can make seasonal arts and crafts, take pictures with Santa, and write down their winter wishes for him (it never hurts to get the list in writing). Hot chocolate is served, which helps while you wait for the tree to light up.
It's a festive, community-focused outing for families with children: crafts, cocoa, a photo with Santa, and the tree lighting itself. Local businesses can also sponsor the event through the Community Services Department, and sponsors are recognized for their community support.
