Voice Finalist Lauren Diaz and Former Santana Singer Leon Patillo to perform at Lake Las Vegas Xmas Tree Lighting Nov. 19
Lauren Diaz, Knock Out Round finalist from this season’s “The Voice,” and Leon Patillo, former lead singer with Santana, will perform during the Christmas tree lighting ceremony at MonteLago Village in the Lake Las Vegas master planned community this Saturday, Nov. 19.
Festivities kick off at 6 p.m. with performances by Patillo and Annie Meadows, an American Contemporary Christian singer, songwriter and recording artist. The pair will help lead the countdown to the tree lighting at 6:30 p.m. Diaz will follow with Positively Arts Foundation students. The local nonprofit organization brings today’s professional artists together with aspiring students to ensure the performing arts continue to thrive despite financial difficulties many schools face. Diaz is now the foundation’s new spokesperson.
After the tree lighting, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory will host a meet-and-greet with Meadows and Patillo. Attendees who make a store purchase will receive an autographed holiday poster, and kids can choose a build-your-own nativity kit or a 3-D snowflake ornament.
Free hot cocoa and coffee will be served.
The tree lighting event kicks off a slate of holiday-themed activities at MonteLago Village during November and December. Festivities include a yacht cruises with Santa Claus, Christmas Express train rides, Santa visits, winter-themed art show, holiday baking event, canned food drive, Thanksgiving specials, New Year’s Eve fireworks, and more against the backdrop of Lake Las Vegas’ 320-acre lake. Most events are free, and most will be held on Saturdays.
