After the concert Santa Claus and his elves will flip the switch to illuminate more than 1.5 miles of LED lights, roughly 10,000 bulbs, on the 70-foot-tall white fir that traveled more than 750 miles from the Shasta-Trinity National Forest on the California/Oregon border. The tree is adorned with more than 5,000 ornaments and is topped with a three-foot copper star, a nod to the state’s official metal.
