What:
Join NBA legend, two-time Hall-of-Famer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and motivational speaker Magic Johnson and Dana Point mayor Lisa Bartlett for the 14th Annual Sand Sculpture Dedication and Tree Lighting Ceremony.
Admire the massive 8-ton beach-themed sand sculpture constructed in the Lobby of the resort; visit Santa Claus himself; enjoy holiday entertainment, cookies and refreshments; and purchase raffle tickets to enter to win exclusive St. Regis prizes. All proceeds from this year’s ticket raffle sales go toward the Magic Johnson Foundation – a nonprofit public organization that works to fight HIV/AIDs.
One lucky child will be chosen at random to flip the switch and help with the tree lighting that brings both the St. Regis Monarch Beach Christmas tree and the holiday spirit to life. The ceremony is free and open to the public.
