  • Santa Monica Place Transforms for Holiday 2010
    Santa Monica Place Transforms for Holiday 2010 November 11, 2010 New Shopping and Dining Destination Sparkles with Magnificent, Modern Performance Tree, Exciting Live Entertainment, Santa and More SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Celebrating its first holiday season in true Santa Monica style, Santa Monica Place introduces a seasonal experience unlike anything else in Los Angeles, including a one-of-a-kind, modern performance tree. The lights on this contemporary, 50 foot-tall, sculptural holiday tree don't just dance, they actually groove to a custom-created soundtrack from KCRW DJs. Enveloping the entire main level Plaza in a wash of color, light and hip, seasonal music, the new tree - more an art installation than a traditional holiday tree - transforms Santa Monica Place into a must-see holiday destination. The season kicks off with an exciting, musical tree-lighting celebration, called Santa Monica Shines, Saturday, Nov. 20, 2010, from 6-7 pm. This fun, free event for the public stars KCRW Music Director Jason Bentley and the acclaimed new vocal group, The Living Sisters, featuring three of LA's best singer-songwriters (Inara George of The Bird and The Bee, Becky Stark of Lavender Diamond and singer Eleni Mandell). The event also showcases the abundance of local talent that helps make Santa Monica so special. Featured performers include groups from Santa Monica High School, Brentwood Academy of Dance and more, plus a special appearance by Santa. Santa Monica Shines is presented by Yogi Bear, the movie. "The whole experience at Santa Monica Place is different from anything else in Southern California - from the architecture, to our beautiful views, our Dining Deck, our retailers and more - and we wanted our holiday experience to share this special, Santa Monica vibe," said Adrienne DeVore, senior manager, marketing, Santa Monica Place.
