Menlo Park residents are invited to ring in the holiday shopping season with a festive "winter wonderland" themed event in downtown Menlo Park. Visitors enjoy free family-friendly entertainment, youth performances, hot cocoa, and the lighting of the big oak tree! Visitors are encouraged to shop and dine at local Menlo Park businesses while they are downtown. All ages are welcome.

The event is traditionally held on the first December of each year, rain or shine at Fremont Park, Santa Cruz Ave. at University Dr.

** Tentative date for 2025 is Saturday, December 6. Check back here for more details as the event approaches. **
