The community of Oakland came together at the Oakland City
Center last month to celebrate the holiday season during the annual Tree
Lighting sponsored by the Center’s management company, CBRE.
Complete with cookie decorating, assorted holiday snacks,
beverages courtesy of Fountain Café, and pictures with Santa and his elves,
families delighted in holiday sounds from local talent.
The evening kicked off with a performance from a cappella
youth ensemble Vocal Rush, who wowed the audience with harmonies and beat-boxing.
Next up was SoVoSo, who never fails to impress a crowd with their unique spin
on classics. Then, the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier from the Oakland Ballet Company made a featured performance showcasing their flexibility and
graceful dance style. Last but not least, the Oakland Youth Chorus brought the
community together as they sang “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” as Santa
lit the tree!
The night was magical and entertaining as the community
rejoiced in the holiday season. Special thanks to Rick Herns Productions for
their fantastic holiday décor, and to Barbara Llewellyn Catering for providing tasty
gingerbread cookies for cookie decorating.
