The Bravern is thrilled to announce a special Winter Illumination holiday lighting event on Saturday, November 24 at 6 p.m. to kick off the holiday season. The family-friendly event will showcase the property’s new LED, energy-efficient light installations, all custom made in Italy. The lighting fixtures include a custom gift box that will encapsulate the fountain on the 8th street arrival court and feature branded ornaments with the names of tenants and retailers. The gift box light fixture is exclusive to The Shops at The Bravern and will give the property an elegant glow for the holiday season. 

“Hundreds of hours have been spent over the last 8 months to coordinate, prepare, and execute the successful installation of this set,” says Matthew Klutznick, General Manager of The Bravern, “We are very excited to see everything come together!”

The festivities will begin promptly at 6 p.m. with a high-energy performance by the Sea Gals followed by remarks from Matthew Klutznick. Santa will also make an appearance at the event to spread holiday cheer to children of all ages, making his much-anticipated arrival to The Bravern in a luxury Rolls Royce. The evening will conclude with the official, full-property lighting ceremony of seasonal fixtures and décor. Shops will remain open until 8 p.m. the day of the event for holiday shopping and in-store activations. 

The Winter Illumination event at The Bravern is free and open to the public. Guests are encouraged to RSVP via Eventbrite for official event updates and exclusive offers. Complimentary 6-hour parking validation will be available for the event. 

The Bravern is also hosting a special VIP experience prior to the public lighting ceremony from 4:30-6:00 p.m. featuring a private performance by the Sea Gals, complimentary photos with Santa, a gingerbread cookie decorating experience with FrogLegs Culinary Academy, a holiday card writing station with personalized calligraphy, plus holiday themed hors d’oeuvres and beverages.
