TORRANCE, Calif., November 19, 2025 – The holiday spirit returns to Torrance Memorial Medical Center for the 42nd annual Holiday Festival, running Tuesday, December 2 through Sunday, December 7, 2025 (closed December 5 for the Gala).

A 12-foot “Heroes Tree” will stand in the Lundquist Tower lobby, where donors may dedicate a crystal-adorned metal star in honor of a hero, with gifts ranging from $100 to $5,000.

The Festival Fashion Show, curated by Nordstrom, opens the festivities on December 2 from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. ($325 per person). The Festival Gala, with silent and live auctions, follows on Friday, December 5 at 6 p.m. ($500 per person).
