Events to Bring Your Holiday to Life

This holiday season is filled with spirit, joy, and excitement! Activities for a wide range of ages and interests are listed. Living in an area without snow and mid to high temperatures forces us to experience the winter with a different approach. Take advantage of not having to shovel snow or wear parkas, and go visit one of these wonderful events.
