Dating back to 1958, the Candlelight Procession & Ceremony is one of the oldest and beloved holiday traditions at Disneyland® Park. Every year, hundreds of choir members from local communities, each carrying a lighted candle, proceed down Main Street, U.S.A. to illuminate the area in front of the train station in Town Square. Amongst the hundreds of choir members are a group of Disney Cast Members and Employees who sing in the Cast Choir and help form a human Christmas tree. Up above the pinnacle of this human Christmas tree on the roof of the Main Street Train Station are eight fanfare trumpeters that make grandiose presence throughout the ceremony. Each year, a celebrity narrator shares the spirit of the holidays and reads the story of "The First Christmas" during the ceremony.
This holiday season - for the first time in its history - the Candlelight Ceremony and Processional is being extended to a total of 20 nights at Disneyland Park, with two performances each night.*
