Holiday festival offers abundance of activities

Winterfest is returning to Temecula from the end of November until the beginning of the New Year.

The festival will kick off when Santa arrives at Pennypickle's Workshop. All children in attendance will get free antlers. They can then meet Santa or choose to come back to see him on weekends.

Santa's Electric Light Parade takes place on December 5 along Old Town Front Street, and is expected to contain more than 10,000 lights.

Snowball Rockin' Night will be taking place every Thursday through Sunday beginning at 7:00 pm. This is set to feature synchronized snowfall, music and a light show. This will be held outside City Hall.

On December 11, blues musician Bill Magee will be performing a concert at the Chapel of Memories at 7:00 pm.

Pennypickles Winter Wonderland, happening on December 12 at the Temecula Children's Museum from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm, will have lots of hands-on activities for the kids. Also, on the same date, the Town Square ice rink will open.

To attract more visitors to this annual Temecula festival, organizers might have invested in flyer printing. These can then be distributed in various ways around the community.

Winterfest will run from November 28 to January 4 in Old Town Temecula. All of the activities are free of charge. To find out more, call 951-694-6480.
