Over 18,000 LED bulbs will light up the World’s Tallest Live-Cut Tree on Saturday, Nov. 5 during the grand finale of Citadel Outlet’s 15th Annual Tree Lighting Concert. The free concert is a family-friendly holiday tradition and this year’s line-up of on-the-rise artists is expected to draw an estimated fifteen thousand attendees.

“Now in its 15th year, the excitement and anticipation building up to the concert has never been higher,” said Traci Markel, Marketing Director. “From offering the chance to see talent that will soon be on billboard charts to celebrating with world-record holding decorations, we hope to create a magical experience that you can’t find anywhere else.”
The 2016 concert will run from 4PM-7PM and will be hosted by celebrity guest Brian Justin Crum, known best for his Broadway-caliber performances on the 11th season of America’s Got Talent.
In addition to headliner Olivia Holt – the star of hit Disney Channel XD series ‘Kickin’ It’ – attendees will also have the opportunity to enjoy performances by Before You Exit and John Lindahl.
Each year, dreams are made and soon-to-be international pop stars discovered on the Citadel Outlets stage. The annual event serves as a first-look opportunity for thousands of L.A. residents and eager holiday shoppers to get up close and personal with performers that will soon be played on pop charts and top countdowns around the world. Previous headline performers include Sabrina Carpenter & Laura Marano (2015), Christina Grimmie (2014), Jesse McCartney (2013), Ariana Grande (2012), Big Time Rush (2010), Justin Bieber (2009), Ashley Tisdale (2009), Demi Lovato (2008) and more.
The concert closes with a center-wide countdown to the lighting of the 115-foot World’s Tallest Live-Cut Tree. Sourced from the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, the tree stands more than 40 feet taller than the average Rockefeller Christmas Tree in New York City. Near the end of its lifespan, this tree is part of an important forest manicuring process and 12 young, budding trees were planted in its place.
