"2025 update - The official lighting quietly took place on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. San Francisco's most recognized Christmas tree typically stands more than 83 feet tall, decorated with 43,000 twinkling energy-efficient LED lights and 700 shining ornaments. Although the tree will make another grand appearance in Union Square and will be lit throughout the holidays, there wasn't a big, festive tree lighting ceremony in 2025. Sadly, there hasn't been a big, official tree lighting ceremony with performances since before the COVID-19 pandemic."
"36th Annual Macy's Great Tree Lighting Visible Tuesday, November 11 - Thursday, January 1, 2026* (we're not entirely sure when the tree will come down, but typically New Year's Day is the final day for lights). Union Square Park | Geary and Powell, San Francisco, CA FREE to watch"
