HolidayFest

Dec

Dec 14 @ 12:00 pm - Dec 22 @ 03:00 pm | Free

‘Tis the season to be jolly—and there is no jollier place than Grossmont Center during the 2019 HolidayFest! The spirit of the holidays creates a fun and festive ambiance during this free seasonal celebration, which takes place from noon to 3 p.m. December 14-15 and 21-22. Bring your family and friends and enjoy a holiday experience you will treasure forever!

Holiday Fun at HolidayFest

This is a party not to be missed. HolidayFest is packed with activities geared towards the entire family. Mix and mingle with Kris Kringle, as well as Frosty the Snowman, elves, and other seasonal characters. Kids can jump for joy in the bounce house—which, appropriately for the season, takes the form of a gingerbread house. Kids can have their faces painted with snowflakes, candy canes, or other inventive designs, then try their hand at holiday crafts. (These handmade creations may even make a great gift for a grandparent!)

Your HolidayFest Experience wouldn’t be complete without some photos with Santa. Stop by Santa’s Hut during your visit for some face time with the big guy. He’s available from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily through December 23, 2019. And while you are here for HolidayFest, be sure to plan for lunch or dinner at one of Grossmont Center’s terrific restaurants and enjoy a nice meal with friends or family. Plus, you can get some holiday shopping done, too, by visiting our collection of major national retailers and locally-owned stores. It makes for a pleasant (and productive!) afternoon!

San Diego Made is partnering up with Grossmont Center Mall in La Mesa for its 2019 Holiday Fest Dec. 14 and 15 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. Come shop a curated list of over 40 of the city’s best local makers while enjoying the family-friendly activities at this fun holiday event.
