first Saturday of December annually since 2011. Each year, the event
increases in attendance and visibility within the community. Featuring an
afternoon of activities that families can enjoy —face painting, bounce
house, holiday crafts, sled dog rides and live entertainment and music —
culminating with remarks from the Mayor, who "flips the switch" to
illuminate the lights on the Christmas tree, this celebration creates the
official kickoff of the holiday season in Balboa Village.
As one of the prime locations for viewing the renowned Christmas Boat
Parade, the Village hosts thousands of people each December—and the
Christmas tree and holiday d6cor sets a festive tone for residents and
visitors alike.
