Zona Rosa Holiday Lighting

Zona Rosa transforms its North Park area into a festive holiday celebration with activities for the whole family. From 3 to 6 p.m., you'll find live holiday music, train rides, artificial snow, and a snowball fight to get everyone in the spirit. Kids can snap photos with beloved characters like the Grinch and Cindy Lou-Who, while food trucks and holiday treats keep everyone fueled throughout the afternoon. The highlight comes at 6 p.m. when Santa arrives to light the shopping center's grand Christmas tree, officially launching the holiday season. This free event is perfect for families looking to kick off their festive celebrations without breaking the bank. Whether your kids are interested in rides, character meet-and-greets, or seasonal snacks, there's something to enjoy. Arrive early to make the most of the three-hour window, and plan to stick around for Santa's tree-lighting ceremony to cap off the afternoon.
