The Guardsmen Christmas Tree Lot is currently in full swing at San Francisco’s Fort Mason Center. The lot is open now through Dec. 21, 2024. You can stock up on holiday essentials, including trees, garlands, wreaths, and ornaments.
In addition to the tree lot itself, it hosts various events, including a giant holiday party with live music this weekend. The party draws large crowds every year and is hosted in the Fort Mason Pavilion, with complimentary champagne and a massive dance floor. Guests dress in their holiday best for the occasion, as organizers strongly recommend cocktail attire. The best part? The party benefits at-risk youth in the Bay Area.
