The highlight of the celebration was the arrival of Santa Claus, who arrived by a vintage fire truck to light the Christmas tree and spread a little holiday cheer. Santa joined Oceanside city leaders in lighting the brand new tree.

After the ceremony ended, parents and children lined up for a photo opportunity with Santa. Each child who met with Santa received free milk and cookies, courtesy of Cathy’s Cookies.

The tree lighting event was hosted by the City of Oceanside and MainStreet Oceanside.

The event included children’s activities such as a coconut tree climb, kids crafts tables, kids zip line, and train rides.
