The Encinitas Historical Society in partnership with the City of Encinitas proudly presents the 29th annual lighting of the Encinitas Heritage Tree. The event, free to the public, will be held at the upper parking lot at Moonlight Beach on Friday, December 1 from 4-6 p.m. Parking is free with an additional free shuttle service from nearby Cottonwood Park by Moke. The Tree Lighting program will feature live music and holiday carols by the San Diego North Coast Singers and three “EnSINGnitas” children’s choirs, including The El Camino Creek Elementary School Choir, The Parkdale Lane Elementary School Choir, and The Mission Estancia Elementary School Choir. Opening the show with a medley of holiday classics will be Free Verse, a local favorite band. EnSINGnitas is a new program sponsored by the Encinitas Educational Foundation, a 501.c.3 nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing back singing and music to our local elementary schools. There will also be a special appearance directly from the North Pole by Santa and Mrs. Claus. Special event t-shirts will be available for sale for $25 each in all sizes featuring the Heritage Tree. Proceeds benefit the Encinitas Historical Society. Bring the whole family to this family-friendly event!

Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings. It launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’ initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe, healthy and thriving communities. Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between. Each movie event gives residents a reason to visit their local parks after dark, deterring inappropriate loitering and park use, and bringing additional safety and security to residents’ favorite locales. Events begin as early as 5 p.m., though actual movie start times are 15 minutes after sunset. Before the movie, many locations provide additional entertainment like arts and crafts, games, costume contests, music, dancing and food trucks. FAQ: What should I bring? Plan to bring chairs or blankets for your comfort. Chairs are not provided at any of our events. Also, feel free to pack a picnic and enjoy your meal under the stars! Some locations will have food available, so check the Event Specifics section of each location and date for more details. Bring a sweater or light jacket – it will cool down once the sun sets. What if it rains? In the event of rain or high winds a movie may be canceled. If it rains on the day of the movie you’re planning to attend, please contact the Parks & Recreation office to get up-to-date information on possible cancellations. Contact information for each location is in the Event Specifics section of each scheduled movie. Can I bring my dog? Many parks allow dogs as long as they remain on leash. Rules are typically listed on community boards or kiosk signs – but you may also call to confirm. Always keep a close eye and clean up after your pet. Where can I park? Most locations have ample parking or quick access to public transportation. We encourage you to check the Event Specifics section of the movie you plan to attend to see if there are any specific notes on parking.
