Anaheim's Nutcracker Tree Lighting and Holiday Village Return December 6 on Center Street Promenade
The City of Anaheim, in Orange County, California, holds its Nutcracker Tree Lighting and Holiday Village on Sunday, December 6, on Center Street Promenade downtown — a holiday tradition dating to 1995, and free to attend.
The holiday village runs from noon to 7 p.m., with vendors, crafts, shopping and festive treats along the promenade. Tuba Christmas performs at 1 p.m., photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus run from 3 to 5 p.m., and the day's program includes community favorites such as the dog costume contest. The Nutcracker tree lighting ceremony closes the celebration at 6 p.m. on the steps of City Hall.
Presented with the Downtown Anaheim Association, the event is one of downtown Anaheim's biggest free community gatherings of the year, drawing families who arrive at midday and stay through the lighting.
Vendor booking for local small businesses and makers opened in early November through the Downtown Anaheim Association. With crowds expected downtown that evening, attendees are advised to allow extra time for parking and walking.
