2022 Holiday Trees in Carlsbad

 

I really like our traditional holiday tree that stands at the entrance to the Carlsbad Village Faire in the heart of downtown, just 2 blocks from the beach.

The annual tree lighting and all the festivities was held this past Sunday, which I missed due to being in LA, for the 37th year.

 

But I also really like seeing the wizened old trees along the bluff above the beach that get decorated every year by people living in Carlsbad (perhaps visitors, too).

I have no clue how old these trees are, but every year they are dressed up to brighten the bluff with holiday spirit for those who are running or driving by the Carlsbad beaches. Fun, don’t you think?

Jeff Dowler, CRS - I really, truly like the creativity! That first photo is excellent! I love the idea of adding an ornament and keeping Carlsbad the most sustainable. 

Thanks for sharing all these great photos and ideas!

Hi Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP  Thank you - I agree!

I like how the trees are each different and that so many people take part in making them special for others to enjoy! I often wonder how many Carlsbad residents are not even aware of these!

Hi Jeff- I love whimsy and these decorated trees on the beach are just that.  You can't help but smile when you see them.

Whimsy is a great word. I love the variety and that people stop by to decorate them!

Thank you Endre Barath, Jr. !

Good luck with your decorating - we are just getting started! We have some neighbors here that really do it up, while others have no exterior decorations.

Good morning Jeff. One man's junk is another man's treasure. And to those who add an ornament to the dead trees along the beach, kudos to you! Enjoy your day.

They might not appeal to everyone but I thought they were pretty cool.

Hello Jeff.  The trees along the coast are cool.  I must ask though how long after Christmas do the decorations last?  Make it a great day.  Mark

Good question Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho  I haven't checked back in the weeks after the holidays to see...maybe this year!

Love the decorated trees on the beach!  As it gets cold and wet up here in Sac, I miss SoCal dearly this time of year!  Enjoy : )

They are pretty cool John Meussner !

It's been chilly here, especially at night - low 40s last night. We could use some moisture...just rain, no snow!

Jeff that is a great idea to have people randomly decorate those trees.

I imagine it's a tradition that has been going on for years, probably  before I moved here in 2005. I love the community spirit at the holidays!

That's a nice idea for the community.  And I suppose everyone takes them back after the holidays...

Hi Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 

I think it's a very cool idea. I assume people come collect them or perhaps one person takes charge. However it's done they do finally disappear until the next year!
