Pier 39 Christmas Tree Lighting Show (2024)

PIER 39

An awe-inspiring Christmas tree has welcomed millions of visitors at the Entrance Plaza of PIER 39 every holiday season since 1983 (except 2020), becoming a not-to-be-missed San Francisco holiday tradition.

Synchronized and choreographed to festive Holiday music, the tree “performs” every half hour from 5-10pm, becoming a kaleidoscope of swirling colors and songs, adorned with thousands of glittering specialty lights and ornaments. At the end of each performance, the tree magically returns to a static, elegant, traditional Christmas tree.

Catch the merriest show on the waterfront now through January 5th, 2025.

Pier 39’s Nightly Tree Lighting Show
November 26, 2024 through January 5, 2025 | 5 to 10 pm
PIER 39, The Embarcadero, San Francisco
FREE

Please note there is no large lighting ceremony event for 2024, but the tree will be lit every night starting at 5pm.
