Small-Town Charm at Julian Tree Lighting

Julian Country Christmas Tree Lighting is set to light up this charming mountain town, where holiday cheer flows as freely as hot apple cider and every corner sparkles with festive delight.

Mountain Magic and Holiday Cheer

Snag amazing treasures from local artisans and craft vendors—perfect for checking off that gift list while supporting our fantastic mountain artists. And the streets will be alive with music all day long.

But hold onto your Santa hats because, at 6 PM, the jolly man himself makes his grand entrance to meet all the excited little ones!

Then watch in wonder as Julian’s community Christmas tree lights up the mountain sky—it’s small-town charm at its absolute finest.

See you there!

The Julian Country Christmas Tree Lighting is happening on November 30 from 12 PM to 8 PM at 2712 Washington Street, Julian.

Join the fun with musical entertainment starting at noon, Santa arriving at 6 PM, and endless holiday cheer throughout the day. For more information about this free community event, visit here.

See you there, San Diego!
