13th Annual Tree Lightening – Citadel Outlets

It’s that time of year! The holiday season is officially kicking off at Citadel Outlets this Saturday, November 8th with the much-anticipated 13^th Annual Tree Lighting Concert. Over 20 thousand attendees are expected to attend the lighting of the World’s Tallest Live Cut Christmas Tree (115-ft), see the World’s Largest Bow atop the Citadel wall and enjoy the free, outdoor concert headlined by country star Jana Kramer, The Voice’s Christina Grimmie, YouTube sensation Cimorelli, pop boy band After Romeo and X Factor’s Josh Levi.

Remember my visit to the Citadel Outlets back in June, where I mentioned how the Christmas tree stands at 115 feet tall, spans 20 feet longer than an NBA basketball court, stands at twice the size of the famous Hollywood sign, and is 40-feet taller than the Rockefeller Christmas Tree in New York City. Yup, simply amazing. In addition to the world’s tallest Christmas tree, Citadel Outlets is also topped by the world’s largest bow.

Event attendees are encouraged to bring gift donations for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. To maintain safety and well being of CHLA patients, only new and unwrapped toys will be accepted. Please note that CHLA cannot accept stuffed toys or toys with small pellets or beans. All donations should be non-toxic, free of sharp edges and cannot promote violence and/or aggressive behaviors. Thanks to generous supporters CHLA is able to gift approximately 80,000 toys per year.

Citadel Outlets is located just off the Interstate 5, just 10 minutes south of downtown Los Angeles, at Atlantic Blvd North at100 Citadel Drive, Suite 480 Los Angeles, CA 90040.
