The five-hour event begins with a tree lighting ceremony, followed by an arts and crafts festival in La Plaza’s Gallery, with many chances to capture unique and artistic gifts for the whole family. Mariachi Azteca and Tres Souls will perform music for visitors, along with additional performances by Teatro Alebrijes and Los Lupenos de San Jose.
