The City of Corona will be hosting its annual Holiday Lighting Celebration on Sunday, December 3, 2023, from 4 PM to 7 PM on the Front Lawn of the Historic Civic Center, located at 815 W. 6^th Street.

Experience the charm of the City’s Historic Civic Center as it bursts with cheer welcoming the holiday season. This family-friendly experience includes a little something for everyone with live stage entertainment from local community groups, gourmet food vendors, an artisan market for unique and handmade holiday gifts, snow play area, a train ride through the festival area activities and crafts for the little ones, as well as plenty of photo opportunities including with Santa himself!

Kids and kids at heart will be invited to write a letter to Santa. You may write the letter at our event, or download, print and bring it with you. Click here to download the Letter to Santa Template.

Help children in our community by bringing an unwrapped toy for the Corona Fire Department’s “Spark of Love” toy drive.

The highlight of the evening will be the traditional ceremonial lighting of the Historic Civic Center campus to launch the holiday season here in Corona.
