Councilmember Bernard C. Parks kicked off the holiday season in South Los Angeles on Monday night with the annual tree lighting ceremony and holiday concert in Leimert Park.
Now in its ninth year, the celebration has become a tradition in the community since Parks first organized the celebration during his first year in office.
Adai Lamar of Radio Free 102.3 FM KJLH was the emcee for the event.
The community enjoyed performances by Tameca DeVant, Chris Lyric, Zeia King, Ochi Charter School Cheerleaders, Asia Shabazz, Deshaude, and the Greater LA Cathedral Choir.
The entertainment was produced by Randy Hankins of The school Tour.
