CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach is promoting a holiday setup built around a new landmark and three evening snow shows. The Discovery Tree is billed as a companion to the Wishing Tree, not a replacement for it.
On its holiday page, CityPlace says the Discovery Tree joins the Wishing Tree as the property's newest holiday landmark and was created by Blachere Illumination.
A Second Landmark, Plus A Kickoff Bill
The tree is the clearest addition on the page. CityPlace is putting a second named landmark in the holiday mix and attaching Blachere Illumination's name to it.
The same page describes a kickoff night with a local performance lineup. Ballet Palm Beach is listed opening with a preview of The Nutcracker, The Sensational A Cappella Group follows with holiday harmonies, and Richie Nuzz is scheduled to take the stage.
Three Shows, No Reservation
CityPlace's nightly snow page lists the run from November 13 through December 31, with The Square set to turn into a winter wonderland at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. The holiday page states the same three daily times.
The snowfall and the Wishing Tree lightshow are listed as free and open to the public, with no reservation needed. For anyone treating the lights as the main event, that is the practical detail: show up for one of the three posted times.
Santa Hours
Santa's Workshop is listed as open Fridays and Saturdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Sundays from 6 to 7 p.m.
The posted plan, then, is a new tree beside the Wishing Tree, snow at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., and weekend Santa hours.
