Celebrate the Holidays at the Twentynine Palms Holiday Festival

The City of Twentynine Palms is thrilled to welcome the community to the annual Holiday Festival on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, from 5-8PM at Freedom Plaza. This family-friendly event promises an evening filled with festive fun, joyful activities, and holiday cheer for all ages.

The evening will feature the highly anticipated Holiday Light Parade, which begins at 6PM and will illuminate the streets with dazzling floats and creative displays. Immediately following the parade will be the Tree Lighting Ceremony, a moment that captures the spirit of the season as the community gathers to light the holiday tree in Freedom Plaza. Attendees can also explore the Holiday Market, where local vendors will showcase unique gifts, handmade crafts, and delicious treats. The market will be open both during the festival on December 3 and the following evening, December 4, inside the Twentynine Palms Community Center.

As part of the Holiday Market, the City is proud to host a Toys for Tots drop-off location, giving attendees the opportunity to make the season brighter for children in need. In addition, children and families can enjoy face painting with local artist Liyan McNeltier, who will bring her creative talents to add an extra touch of festive magic.

In addition to the parade and market, guests can enjoy a variety of food vendors, music by Z107.7FM, and the opportunity to take pictures with Santa Claus. Freedom Plaza will be transformed into a festive hub of activity, bringing together the community to celebrate the season in style.

“Our goal is to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where families, friends, and neighbors can come together to celebrate the magic of the holidays,” said Community Events Coordinator Scott Clinkscales. “This festival is all about community, and we’re excited to see everyone come out and make memories that will last a lifetime.”

The Holiday Festival is free to attend, making it the perfect opportunity to bring family, friends, and neighbors together for an unforgettable evening. Whether you’re coming to watch the parade, shop for gifts, enjoy the activities, or support a great cause with Toys for Tots, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
