San Marcos Pairs Its Tree Lighting With a Merry Market on December 5
The City of San Marcos, in San Diego County, California, holds its Tree Lighting and Merry Market on Saturday, December 5, at the San Marcos Community Center, 3 Civic Center Dr. The free event runs from 1 to 7 p.m.
The market fills the afternoon from 1 p.m., with local craft and food vendors throughout the community center, free photos with Santa from 1 to 5 p.m. and free crafts for children. The celebration concludes with an official council greeting and the lighting of the holiday tree at about 6 p.m.
Combining a market and a lighting into one afternoon-to-evening program makes the event San Marcos's main community kickoff to the holiday season. It shares the date with Vista's afternoon parade and Escondido's Winter Wonderland Festival, giving North County residents several celebrations to choose from.
The Community Center sits beside the San Marcos Civic Center. The city reminds attendees that Santa photo sessions and market stalls are first come, first served, and to plan for event parking.
