About

Laguna Beach starts its holiday shopping season on Small Business Saturday with the Chamber of Commerce's First Annual Promenade Tree Lighting, presented by Think Laguna. Spend the day browsing the town's independent shops, galleries and boutiques, then gather on the Promenade on Forest at 6 p.m. as the tree lights up.

The tree is a gift from Nick Hooper Real Estate Group, and the Boys & Girls Club offers free face painting for the kids. It's a small-town way to begin the season: shop local, meet the people behind the counter, and think Laguna first.
