Northstar Tree Lighting Ceremony

Nothing says the holidays have arrived in Tahoe quite like the annual Holiday Tree Lighting at The Village at Northstar. Each year, families and friends gather around the Village Ice Rink to watch as the towering Northstar tree bursts to life in a dazzling display of lights. Bundle up, sip some cocoa, and take in the season’s first sparkle when you visit this year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I skate during the tree lighting?

Absolutely. The ceremony takes place beside the Village Ice Rink, and skaters are welcome to enjoy the rink before or after the tree is lit.

Where should I park?

Village parking fills up quickly on event nights, so plan ahead and consider Northstar’s resort shuttles for convenient access.
