It all begins on Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m.

Organizers say coronavirus precautions will be in place and masks will be required to enter businesses and restaurants on the wharf, as mandated by Santa Barbara County.

The tree lighting is sponsored by the Stearns Wharf Merchants. For more information about Stearns Wharf, click here.
