Meet Me Under the Fig Tree

As a longstanding community pillar, Santa Monica’s iconic five-star Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows will raise a toast to the holiday season with the return of the annual ‘Meet Me Under The Fig Tree’ Event.

From 2:00pm – 5:00pm, Angelenos, Santa Monica residents, and hotel guests alike can gather around Fairmont Miramar’s beautifully adorned historical landmark the Moreton Bay Fig Tree for a celebratory afternoon full of complimentary festive drinks, small bites, and holiday activities.

At Fairmont Miramar’s winter wonderland, families can take photos with Santa Claus, dance to live music, decorate festive cookies, enjoy a kid-friendly bounce house, arts & crafts, and experience a Fire Truck showcase. Food vendors include FIG, The Butter End, Fia, Milo + Olive, and Lunetta.

KTLA Hosts, Wendy Burch and Eric Spillman will MC the event including a special performance by Grammy award-winning Jazz Artist, Bill Cunliffe and the Santa Monica High Orchestra.

In partnership with local non-profit Santa MoniCARES, the Westside Food Bank, and Chrysalis, the annual ‘Meet Me Under The Fig Tree’ event, is free to attend. Guests are encouraged to bring canned food, new or gently worn clothing, or monetary gifts for donations.
