Annual Holiday Tree Lighting - The Castro launches the holiday season in late November by lighting a decorated 25 foot tall evergreen, erected by the Merchants of Upper Market & the Castro (MUMC) in the plaza in front of the Bank of America on Castro at 18^th Street. The lighting festivities typically include seasonal music, special guests, cheery window displays, and holiday shopping specials at many merchants.
