Santa Ana's Plaza Navideña Lights the Tree on November 21, With Free Tamales and Hot Chocolate
The City of Santa Ana, in Orange County, California, holds its annual Plaza Navideña celebration on Saturday, November 21, at Plaza Calle Cuatro, 325 E. 4th St. in downtown Santa Ana. The free, family-friendly event runs from 5 to 8 p.m.
The city's posted run of show opens with a welcome and holiday trivia at 5 p.m. Santa arrives at 5:20 p.m., the tree lighting ceremony follows at 5:30 p.m., and community performances take the stage at 5:35, 6:10, 6:45 and 7:20 p.m., before a glow-stick dance party closes the night at 7:50 p.m. Children can take photos with Santa, make crafts, and hear holiday stories with Mrs. Claus at 6:30 and 7 p.m.
The city will also give away free tamales, hot chocolate and cookies while supplies last. Plaza Navideña is the signature holiday event of Santa Ana's Fourth Street corridor, reflecting the city's Mexican-American heritage.
The city notes the run of show may change and points residents to its event page for the latest details — and clarifies that the celebration is at Plaza Calle Cuatro downtown, not at the Civic Center.
