Ghirardelli Square Ice Cream & Holiday Lights
About This Spot
Ghirardelli Square does a tree lighting ceremony in November and the whole area glows through the holidays. Get hot chocolate and a sundae, walk around the lights. Tourist-y? Sure. But kids don't care — they love it.
Planning Notes
The tree lighting is usually the weekend before Thanksgiving. Free hot chocolate samples!
