Corona, CA: SANTA ARRIVAL PARADE & TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY

The Santiago High School Marching Band will lead the Santa Arrival Parade through The Shops at Dos Lagos at 5 p.m. on Saturday, November 17. The public is invited to welcome Santa Claus as he arrives at the stage near the children’s play area and join him in the countdown to illuminate the 40-foot Christmas Tree. Sparkling holiday lights throughout the center will be simultaneously illuminated with the Christmas Tree to officially launch the center’s Celebrate the Holidays Close to Home…Make It Merry and Bright theme, which features family events, musical performances on the Dos Lagos Amphitheater stage and caroling.

Holiday elves will hand out FREE Christmas tree necklaces before the Santa Parade begins at 5 p.m. Following the Tree Lighting Ceremony, the family fun continues with Santa Photos until 8 p.m. “We want families to come early to see a holiday movie and stay to enjoy the full day of holiday activities,” said Giovanna Calambrogio, property manager for The Shops at Dos Lagos, located at Temescal Canyon Road between Weirick Road and Cajalco Road in Corona.
