Christmas Preview

A Tradition in Holiday Hospitality!

Sunday, November 21st, 4-8pm

Downtown Chico officially kicks off the season in a tradition of holiday hospitality Sunday, November 21st from 4-8pm— it's the much-anticipated Christmas Preview! Merchants debut their holiday cheer by inviting the community to delight in an evening filled with the sights, sounds and smells of the season.

Stores don beautiful decorations, refreshments are served and strolling carolers add a special charm to the downtown streets. Santa will arrive to his station on Third Street & Broadway— a perfect opportunity for a visit and a photo.

Special “on-street” attractions include: 

• Santa Visits!  Arriving in a horse-drawn carriage, Santa will visit children at his station at Third & Broadway from 4:30-7:30pm.  Youngsters can stop by for a visit, a special gift and a photo opportunity!
• Live entertainment in the streets:
  • The “hardest working band in snow business”, The Yule Logs!  
  • Sound of the Foothills men’s chorus
  • Sounds of the Valley women’s chorus
