There’s nothing quite like Downtown during the holidays.
Downtown offers plenty of opportunity for holiday cheer and memory-making! Pop in to the Holiday Pop-Up Shops or stop by Skate in the Park – the only outdoor rink in town, presented by Academy Bank.
See details below for details on FREE parking, and stay tuned to our Facebook page for Downtown holiday events.
Selfies with Santa
December 23, noon-2pm
Santa will be strolling through Downtown – with a Polaroid camera – as he gathers up last-minute gifts and makes a few edits to his “naughty and nice” lists. Be sure to grab a selfie and your keep-sake instant photo while he’s out and about!
Hot Wassail

Enjoy traditional hot wassail, a tasty hot spiced cider. Spiced by Savory Spice Shop, brewed by Jose Muldoon’s, and handed out by the Little London Wassail Society. Northwest corner of Bijou/Tejon (while supplies last).
