Join in the magic of the season! The Valley Center Chamber of Commerce is hosting its annual Christmas in the Valley event on December 6 and 7, 2019 at McLaughlin Park in Valley Center.

This year, the focus of the event is Hometown Christmas and it will be bigger and better than ever! This year, the events are spread out over two days.

December 6 Valley Center Tree Lighting Celebration

Friday, December 6, the events will take place in the 100 block of West Main. The festivities will start at 7 p.m. with church groups carolling at three locations: coffee corner, LeVenue corner and Cottage Market corner. Then everyone will move to the tree lighting area at 7:20 p.m. where the Valley Center high school Christmas Brass Ensemble & Madrigals will perform. At 7:35 p.m., Santa will arrive while everyone sings Jingle Bells. Then the mayor will speak and light the tree. The madrigals and Christmas Brass will lead everyone in singing Silent Night. At 7:50 p.m., everyone is encouraged to go inside LeVenue to listen to the Jazz band at 8 p.m. The evening will conclude with a showing of Charlie Brown Christmas.
