Santa Clarita plans to renew its annual contract Tuesday for holiday lights decor, budgeting a maximum of $100,000 to light up Main Street.

The bulk of the contract is about $80,000, with an additional $20,000 as a contingency for tree maintenance for a two-story Christmas tree and equipment.

The city plans to install the lights at the end of Halloween, and bring them down in January, according to the agenda.

Mobile Illumination, a Chatsworth-based company, is the city’s choice for the fourth year in a row, according to officials.

The Downtown Newhall Ad Hoc Subcommittee, consisting of Mayor Pro Tem Weste and Councilmember Kellar, met August 29, 2017, to review Main Street Holiday Decoration Program proposals and discuss holiday decoration options presented by Mobile Illumination for this year’s program.

The following core elements of the program are proposed to remain unchanged and will include:  23-foot tall, lit and decorated Christmas tree in front of the Main Street entrance to the Old Town Newhall Library

Overhead skyline with 30-foot wide “Season’s Greetings” sign located at Main Street and Market Street

Overhead skyline with 30-foot wide Santa, sleigh, and deer set located near Main Street and 9th Street

Consistent with years past, the trees along Main Street between Lyons Avenue and 6th Street are proposed to be lit with lights loosely wrapped around the trunks of the trees to match existing canopy lights maintained year-round

The decorations are proposed to be installed in a manner and time frame consistent to years past, with most of the work being completed at night as outlined in the schedule below:

October 30 – November 17, 2017 – Installation

November 18, 2017 – Holiday lighting event

November – December 2017 – Lighting will be turned on each evening from 5:00 – 11:00 p.m.

January 2018 – Christmas tree, skyline, and additional decoration are removed (year-round lighting will remain in the canopies of trees along Main Street.)
