Danville to close several downtown streets for annual tree lighting

Several downtown Danville streets will close Friday afternoon and evening for the annual lighting of the Old Oak Tree, police said.

Street closures will run from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., according to police.

The traditional event is back in person this year and will take place rain or shine. The evening program starts at 5:15 p.m. on Diablo Road and is due to conclude by 8 p.m., police said.

Motorists are asked to expect delays and exercise caution.

Every November, the town gathers on Diablo Road at the base of the tree to celebrate the annual tree-lighting ceremony.
