Top 7 Local Events to Enjoy This Holiday Season

🎶 It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas 🎵

One by one, homes around the neighborhood are being decorated with Christmas lights and day by day, the weather is getting colder. It could only mean one thing - we’re in the holiday season!

And this year, there’s plenty of local events the whole family can enjoy. From picking out a fresh Christmas tree from Frosty’s Forest to having fun in the snow at Eastvale’s “Miracle on Citrus Street” event, it’ll be a winter to remember, so make sure to mark your calendars!

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… the 30th Annual Boat Parade is here! Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Chino Hills, it’s a Christmas tradition the entire community looks forward to each year. Starting on Peyton Drive and Eucalyptus Ave at 7pm, the parade of decorated boats, trucks, and cars will make its way down Boys Republic Drive and around the city.

Grab your lawn chairs and call all of your family and friends because it’s an unforgettable holiday experience you don’t want to miss. It’s the perfect chance to invite your neighbors to a front yard barbecue and enjoy the festive atmosphere.  

Out with the pumpkins, in with the Christmas trees! Frosty’s Forest is open now until December 20th, so take the family on a trip to pick out your own Oregon-grown Christmas tree. Ranging from tabletop to over 13 feet, Frosty’s offers a wide selection of Noble Fir, Grand Fir, Nordmann Fir, and Douglas Fir trees. They even offer custom flocking with a variety of colors or the classic white.

While you’re there, browse through their beautiful wreaths and greenery to adorn your porch, and take a look at their adorable handcrafted wooden decor (like the holiday classics of reindeers and snowmen).

The Shoppes has always been a popular social hub for the community, and this holiday season, there’s even more to be merry about. From now until December 24th, enjoy the festivities! Catch a ride on the Express Train, take memorable holiday photos, and admire the amazing 35-foot Christmas Tree. On Fridays through Sundays at 6pm and 7pm, don’t miss out on the magical snow show at the heart of The Shoppes.

Tie your shoelaces, grab the strollers, and come join the fun at the annual holiday event hosted by the City of Ontario. Whether you want to challenge yourself with the 5K Reindeer Run or take the kiddos to the shorter Ruloph Dash Fun Run, it’s sure to be tons of fun. Afterwards, visit the Rudolph’s Roundup area to enjoy the arts and crafts, exercise activities, and local business booths.

Not only do you get to enjoy an exciting, family-friendly event with the whole community, but your participation also helps raise money for the Ontario-Montclair Promise Scholars. All proceeds from the race will be donated to their program designed to help the local youth prepare for their journey towards a college education and dream of a bigger future.

On December 17th from 9am to 1pm, the Corona Police Department is hosting their annual “Kids & Cops Holiday Magic” event. In this festive season of giving, the whole community has come together to support the local youth through generous donations. At this free event, kids can enjoy the crafts and activities, and each will receive their own gift! 

(Proof of Corona residency is required to register at the Circle City center.)

Come experience the winter wonderland at Eastvale’s spectacular holiday event. With everything from delicious food and craft vendors to a trip to the North Pole on a magic train ride, there’s something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
