Past Event
Saturday, December 3, 2016, 3 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Holiday Tree Lighting and Winter Wonderland Festival
340 N. Escondido Boulevard, Escondido, 92025
Cost: Free
Every year the center 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 even rendezvous with live reindeer. 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.
Food and drink will be available to warm your hands and hearts, and a number of local businesses will be displaying their wares for your holiday shopping needs. At dusk, the Winter Wonderland Forest will come alive with twinkling lights. Sponsored by the Linden Root Dickinson Foundation and George and Cynthia Weir, The Weir Asphalt Construction Group.
