Even with the rapidly changing life of today, some Christmas traditions never change, and Balboa Island has a lot of them.  Our Christmas Tree is schedule to arrive on Friday, November 27 at the Marine Avenue Fire Station.  Christmas trees have been a part of Balboa Christmas for generations. Today shared community Christmas trees are a common sight in many public buildings, shops, streets and churches on Balboa Island. 

The decorating will begin on Tuesday, December 1. A beautifully decorated evergreen tree, with colored lights ablaze, inspires warm memories of Christmases long past. Join us December 6 for all the tree Lighting festivities beginning at 3:00 then the magic takes place at 5:30.  Christmas cider, cookies, candy canes and other refreshments will be provided.  Come join in on all the fun. Don’t forget to bring the children to meet Santa Claus.
