Quote:Holiday Tree Lighting in Nokia Plaza at L.A. Live
Friday, December 2nd from 7-8 PM. <--- PST
L.A. Live's non-traditional holiday tree got plenty of mixed reviews when it made its debut in 2008, but the LED-orbed structure has done well enough to return Downtown for its fourth year on Friday. The 54-foot metal structure includes 10,000 lights.
For the second time, the tree lighting will be a live television event. Pop artist JoJo, American Idol's Pia Toscano, Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart, The Singoff's The Backbeats, singer Patti Austin with Greg Phillinganes and The Voice's Javier Colon will perform in the one-hour ceremony. Ice skating Gold Medalist Evan Lysacek will also perform.
KTLA will be broadcasting this event live.
