Hollister Lights on Celebration.

The Hollister Downtown Association, in partnership with the City of Hollister and Bourdet’s Christmas Trees, invite you to our 32nd Annual Lights On Celebration on Saturday, November 26 from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. in downtown Hollister. This year’s theme is Celebrating 150 Hollister Christmases

In keeping with the year-long celebration for the City of Hollister’s 150th anniversary. The event kicks off with our Dec-A-Tree Project. This project began in 1994 to benefit families in need and help brighten their Holiday Season. The Hollister Downtown Association coordinates the decoration efforts by individuals, businesses, and youth service clubs. The trees are donated each year by Bourdet’s
Choose & Cut Christmas Tree Farm.

Our Holiday Car Display starts at 10 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m. and features this year’s Street Festival Winner Car Club with the Most Participation, Impala Car Club. They will be displaying their vehicles on the corners of Seventh and San Benito Streets.

At 1 p.m., the Lights on Celebration will see the return of the Holiday Boutique at the Veterans’ Memorial Building. This year’s Holiday Boutique will feature over 30 Artisan vendors so you can start your holiday shopping with unique one-of-a-kind items. There will also be a Holiday Food Court starting at 11 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. and will feature 8 local favorites to choose from, plus your favorite Downtown restaurants will be open during the festivities.

There will be live entertainment starting at 3 p.m. at the Veterans’ Memorial Building, with performances also at Fifth Street. This year’s performers include Ha’a Hula, Animation Dance Community, Fusion, Yamamoto Hula Ohana, and Enterprise Academy of Martial Arts.

The spectacular Lights On Celebration Parade will start at 5:30 p.m. starting on the corners of San Benito
St and Haydon St and will go through our downtown area and culminate on 5th St. This year’s parade will feature over 70 local businesses, departments, youth organizations, schools and non-profit groups
bringing their Christmas Cheer. This is also the first appearance of Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The funs continues as the City of Hollister’s Park and Recreation Department will be having their
Downtown Hollister Christmas Tree Lighting at 7:15 p.m. in front of the Veterans’ Memorial Building. This year’s tree is over 14ft tall and will feature beautiful decorations and lights. The tree is being provided by Bourdet’s Choose & Cut Christmas Tree Farm.

Right after the Tree Lighting, photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Holiday
Boutique and will go until 8:30 p.m. when the Holiday Boutique will end. Photos will be taken by Zoom
PhotoGraphix and Video Express and will cost $7 for a 5×7 photo. Please note that all photos will be
