Petaluma, CA: Downtown Holiday Events Schedule 2011
Each year, the holiday season in Petaluma builds through a series of events which are an annual tradition in this wonderful town.
The 2011 season is officially kicked off by Santa's Riverboat Arrival on Saturday, November 26th at the Golden Eagle Shopping Center at 2-80 E. Washington Street, Petaluma. Bring the kids to meet Mr & Mrs. Claus. Festivities will begin at 11:00 AM.
On Friday, December 2nd at 7:00 PM, the 25th Annual Light Up A Life tree lighting ceremony is held at Center Park in front of McNear's, 23 Petaluma Blvd. North, Petaluma. Hosted by Hospice of Petaluma, each light symbolizes the life of a loved one. For a $10 donation, a light can be dedicated in their memory.
On Saturday, December 3rd, from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM, is the Petaluma Downtown Holiday Merchant's Open House. The Theater District comes alive with Holiday merriment. Bring the family down for this free holiday event.
Another fabulous and free family event on Saturday, December 3rd, is Holiday Lighted Boat Parade sponsored by the Petaluma Downtown Association. Festivities begin at 5:30, when the flotilla of beautifully lit boats begin their journey from the Marina to the turning basin downtown where they remain docked on display for the remainder of this festive evening.
The holiday season in is quickly approaching, and I am proud to say that Petaluma, CA puts on quite a show and sets the mood wonderfully with these and other celebrations.
