Holiday and New Year News at South Coast Plaza

PRESS INQUIRIES: Lisa Liddane at liddanel@southcoastplaza.com

South Coast Plaza debuts the first annual Pavilion of Holiday Trees, a special exhibit of more than 35 trees decorated by Southern California, national and international arts institutions. The exhibit is open to the public Nov. 14-Dec.4. The decorated trees will be auctioned online, with proceeds benefiting the corresponding arts organizations.

Our 39th Annual Tree Lighting Event is virtual this year, with the health and safety of our community in mind. Hosted by American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland, the new holiday show features moments from “The Nutcracker,” musical performances from the renowned Orange County School of the Arts, a special visit by Santa and the countdown to the illumination of our giant tree at our outdoor Town Center.
The show is available on demand beginning November 19, 7pm at southcoastplaza.com/treelighting and South Coast Plaza’s IGTV on Instagram
