10th Annual Holiday Tree Lighting & Winter Wonderland Festival

During this annual community festival, the California Center for the Arts brings the North Pole to the heart of Escondido. Children will have the chance to frolic in real snow, decorate their very own Christmas cookies, and create fun, hand-made gifts for their loved ones. The highlight for kids is, of course, Santa Claus himself, but there will also be a number of holiday-themed entertainers?from carolers, to stilt walkers, to hula dancers?for all ages to enjoy. Food and drink will be available to warm your hands and hearts, and a number of local businesses will display their wares for your holiday shopping needs. At dusk, our Winter Wonderland Forest will come alive with twinkling lights, and no one will be able to resist the holiday spirit! We will also have a few new surprises at this year?s festival, so don?t miss your chance to celebrate the holidays at the Center!
