Festive on Main Street Holiday event gives the season a little more spirit very year, Santa Monica’s historic Main Street transforms into a holiday wonderland, with sights and sounds that make the season bright. The tree-lined street becomes the perfect spot for a holiday family outing. Sing along if you’re so inspired, or just listen in; either way, you’re sure to get in the holiday mood. The festivities kick off at 5:00 p.m., when Santa Claus is available for photographs with kids on the lawn at California Heritage Museum, 2612 Main St. Santa Monica High School’s choir and the Caroling Company will perform at 6 p.m. to set the mood for the evening with a variety of classics and other holiday tunes. Sing along if you’re so inspired, or just listen in; either way, you’re sure to get in the holiday mood. Santa will then preside over a countdown to the anticipated lighting of the Holiday tree at the lawn, which is followed by a short candlelight walk to the iconic shopping cart tree at the Edgemar Center for the Arts. Music from the Off Their Jingle Bell Rockers will entertain crowds until close to 7
E
4
p.m., when attendees disperse to enjoy the parties and other activities in the shops and restaurants along Main Street. You’ll also want to explore the two-day holiday sidewalk sales at participating merchants, 11am – 7pm, Saturday and Sunday. The Annual Main Street Holiday Event is produced by the Main Street Business Improvement Association (MSBIA), Anthony Schmitt, Chair (and creator of the shopping cart tree).

Happy holidays, friends and neighbors!
his is our favorite time of year here on Main Street. It gives us an opportunity to say thank you to all the residents, business owners and city officials that have supported our street this past year. There are lots of changes ahead for us in 2016. We will be launching several new campaigns to get more consumers involved in our local businesses.

Whether you are a resident, business owner or occasional shopper, we value your participation, it’s what makes our stretch of Santa Monica so unique. Over the next few months we’ll be bringing you ways to get involved and we’ll be looking for ways to offer our support to you!
