THE CITY OF SOUTH EL MONTE EMBRACES THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT
One of the hallmark events of the Christmas season in South El Monte is the exciting Tree Lighting Ceremony. At the heart of the event stood a 40-foot-tall Christmas tree adorned with a symphony of twinkling lights and festive ornaments. Located in front of city hall, the tree became the focal point of the City’s holiday décor. The festivities extended beyond the tree lighting itself. The event featured live performances by local cheer teams, school bands and dance groups. Information booths lined the street, offering seasonal delights, crafts and a special visit by Santa.
