"Join us this Monday, December 1st at 6pm at the Bank of America Plaza as we kick off the holiday season in true Castro style, the Castro Merchants Association says in an Instagram post. The evening will be emceed by the fabulous Donna Sachet, the tree will receive a special blessing from Sister Roma, and, of course, we'll have a visit from Santa!"
"Also Monday night over in Alameda, the longtime Bay Area favorite Christmas Tree Lane returns for its 87th year. That display is simply a block of houses that go absolutely all-out with their holiday displays, so there is no set official lighting time. Christmas Tree Lane in Alameda is between the addresses of 3200-3299 Thompson Avenue on the island of Alameda. That display will be jingle bell rocking every night through New Year's Eve."
Holiday events begin December 1 across both sides of the Bay with the Castro Holiday Tree lighting at Castro and 18th streets at 6 pm at the Bank of America Plaza. The evening will be emceed by Donna Sachet, include a blessing from Sister Roma, a visit from Santa, and remarks from Mayor Daniel Lurie. Follow-up events include the Castro Art Walk Friday 5-8 pm, a Holiday Sidewalk Sale Sunday Dec 7 11 am-3 pm, and a Menorah lighting on Dec 15 at 6 pm. Alameda's Christmas Tree Lane on Thompson Avenue returns for its 87th year with nightly home light displays from sundown through New Year's Eve between 3200-3299 Thompson Avenue.
