Fashion Island is gearing up for the nation’s tallest Christmas tree to arrive in Newport Beach this morning.
A 110-foot white fir will make its entrance at the shopping center’s Bloomingdale’s courtyard about 6 a.m., when a 140-foot flatbed truck arrives from a trip originating at Mount Shasta, Fashion Island spokeswoman Nina Robinson said.
At 6 p.m. Nov. 19, the center will host another tradition: the tree-lighting ceremony. This year, students at the Orange County High School of the Arts will perform, Santa Claus will pose for photos and about 15,000 white lights and ornaments will illuminate the tree. An annual menorah-lighting ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. Dec. 5.
