Outlets at San Clemente Grand Opening Event

The grand opening of the highly-anticipated Outlets at San Clemente, the only ocean-facing outdoor outlet shopping and dining destination in Orange County, will kick off with a weekend of events and family fun.

Grand opening festivities for the 325,000-square-foot shopping destination will commence on Thursday, November 12, with a ribbon cutting ceremony followed by a full weekend of special offers, prizes and vibrant family-friendly entertainment among the beautiful Spanish-style center's courtyards and promenades.

On Saturday, November 14, Outlets at San Clemente will hold its inaugural Tree Lighting Concert, to feature American Authors, best known for their Top 40 song "Best Day of My Life;" 2015 American Idol winner and rising star Nick Fradiani; and local up-and-coming singer from the first season of X-Factor, John Lindahl.

Hosted by Valentine of 104.3 MY FM's morning show, the free concert in Center Court is open to the public and includes the lighting of the center's fresh-cut live Christmas tree from Mt. Shasta decorated with 3,000 twinkling lights and holiday decor. After 18 years in the making, the grand opening weekend will celebrate the open-air center, which will cater to today's consumers who want one destination to shop, dine, and relax in the sunshine. The opening will feature fast-casual eateries and more than 35 retail stores such as Bass Factory Outlet, Calvin Klein, Chico's Outlet, Cole Haan, Columbia Sportswear Company, Converse, GUESS Factory Store, H&M, Levi's Outlet Store, Nike Factory Store, The PUMA Outlet Store, Tilly's, Tommy Hilfiger, Under Armour, Vans, and White House Black Market.
