An Oakland tradition for 20 years, this magical, multicultural event brings families together to share in the season’s many festivities.  United by Light Holiday celebrations across the globe carry one common thread between them all at the end of the year: light! Be it a joyful tree sparkling with cheer, a sacred candle holder telling a story with each burning votive, a glowing lantern signifying triumph, a welcoming home decked out in strings of dancing bulbs, or the embers of a flickering fire, it is the light that ushers the way for new beginnings, familial togetherness, hope, peace, and love.
