Twentynine Palms Celebrates the Season with Annual Holiday Festival

Get ready to kick off the holiday season in Twentynine Palms with a festive celebration! The City of Twentynine Palms is excited to announce its annual Holiday Festival, taking place on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 5-8PM at Freedom Plaza. This magical evening will be filled with family-friendly activities, delicious food, and plenty of holiday cheer.

The festival will feature a dazzling Light Parade, which will begin at 6PM, illuminating the streets with festive floats, twinkling lights, and holiday spirit. Following the parade, attendees are invited to gather in the center of Freedom Plaza for the Tree Lighting Ceremony, a beloved tradition that brings the community together to mark the official start of the holiday season.

Throughout the evening, visitors will have the opportunity to take pictures with Santa Claus, making it the perfect chance for families to capture special holiday memories. Additionally, a variety of food vendors will be on-site, offering festive treats and savory delights for all to enjoy.

As part of the Holiday Festival, don’t miss out on the now two-day Holiday Market, running December 3-4 inside the Twentynine Palms Community Center, where local artisans and vendors will be offering unique holiday gifts, crafts, and seasonal goods, perfect for checking off your holiday shopping list.

“The Holiday Festival is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the season in the heart of Twentynine Palms,” said Community Events Coordinator Scott Clinkscales. “We’re thrilled to offer a night filled with joy, lights, and holiday fun for residents and visitors alike.”

This event is free and open to the public. Be sure to mark your calendars and bring the whole family to Freedom Plaza for a night of festive fun as we ring in the holiday season together.
