Grove Christmas Tree
The Grove Christmas Tree is an approximately 100-foot
History
The tradition of lighting The Grove Christmas Tree takes place in mid-November after it was begun in 2002 by real estate developer and businessman
The first white fir tree used for the event was harvested from the Mount Shasta region in Northern California in 2010.[4] The following year, a 100-foot white fir was decorated with more than 10,000 lights and 15,000 ornaments,[2] setting the precedent for successive Christmas trees for The Grove at Farmers Market.

Among the performers who have graced the event are operatic acts
For the 10th anniversary of the Christmas tree lighting, The Grove partnered with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for its “Season of Wishes” campaign. Christmas lights and baubles covered the white fir tree as well as everything else at The Grove. The evening showcased artificial snowfall, bubbles, and a fireworks finale.
