Tree Lighting Ceramonies

When we lived in Boston, going to a tree lighting ceremony was something I felt I had to do.  I wanted to experience everything the city had to offer.  I didn't want to move back home and say I should have done that.  I had never been to a tree lighting in SF before moving to Boston and I haven't been to one since moving back.  I think this is my year.  Now I just need to decide which tree to see lit.

Due to anticipated crowds, you may want to arrive early (between 3:45 and 4pm) to get a good spot or as I'll do bar hop and then pop in right before the lighting.
