Lighting Up the Heart of the Pearl
The highlight of the afternoon comes at 4:30 PM, when we gather around Jamison Square for the official Tree Lighting Ceremony — a moment that always brings a little extra sparkle (and maybe a few happy tears) to our community.
Join the Celebration
This event is made possible thanks to the partnership and support of Hoyt Street Yards Community Association, Urban Art Network, PacifiCorp, and the Pearl District Neighborhood Association.
Together, we’re thrilled to keep this cherished tradition shining bright — celebrating connection, creativity, and the local spirit that makes the Pearl District such a vibrant place to live, work, and visit.
Mark your calendar for November 29 — and let’s make the Pearl glow!
