Coral Gables Holiday Tree Lighting is an outdoor experience at night. Be prepared for varying light levels, long lines, and limited seating. Guests should expect large crowds, a brief period of total darkness, bright lights, amplified music, and sirens.
Learn more about the available accommodations such as sign language interpreters, access mats, and plastic bendy straws available upon request.

There are a limited number of accessible parking spaces available on a first come, first serve basis behind City Hall.
ASL interpreters are located inside the VIP seating area. Access credentials for Deaf and Hard of Hearing guests are at the VIP entrance gates. Please note, ASL access credentials are for the interpreters only and do not include any VIP amenities. Deaf and Hard of Hearing residents of Coral Gables are welcome to purchase VIP passes online and sit in the interpreted area.
The Aira app is available for guests to use at no cost.
The playground area is filled with soft white sand, with a paved path to provide visual access to most amenities and features. Mobi-mat extensions connect the paved path to the concessions trolley, some photo stations, an accessible picnic table, Santa’s house, and his mailbox.
A beach wheelchair is available by Santa’s house for any guest to use to access the sandy areas of the Holiday Park.
For assistance ordering or to request a plastic bendy straw at the concessions trolley, please ask any person in a red “Team Santa” shirt.
There are a very limited number of chairs available on a first come basis in the general admission area. Guests who tire easily may wish to bring a camping chair of their own.
The city’s Accessible Recreation Division will have a craft tent available farthest from the stage.
