Otay Ranch Town Center Welcomes Santa Claus With the First “Snow” Of The Season

On Saturday, November 20th at 6:00 PM, Otay Ranch Town Center invites the community to give Santa Claus a warm welcome for the holiday season.

Otay Ranch Town Center will officially kick off the holiday season with The 4th Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony and Santa’s Arrival Parade. In addition, children and families will be delighted to see the first “snow” of the holiday season. The 30′ tree will be decorated with 10,000 white twinkle lights and traditional holiday ornaments. After the parade, the Momentum Church of Otay Ranch will be doing a live theatrical holiday performance in the Food Pavilion.

During the Santa Parade, Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego will kick off its Season of Wishes as a few of their Wish Kids help Santa light the Christmas tree and participate in the parade. The Wish Kids will also attend a “Cookies and Milk” party with Santa following the parade.

Following the tree lighting, the Santa’s Arrival Parade will begin at Main Street featuring floats, a color guard, mounted police, youth football leagues and cheerleaders, churches, community organizations and elected officials. As soon as Santa reaches the popper jet fountain, it will begin to “snow.”
