Pier 39’s Nightly Tree Lighting Show: Holiday Christmas Carols | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Pier 39 Christmas Tree Lighting Show (2024)

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.
