Palos Verdes Celebrates Holiday Traditions
Palos Verdes homes owners can celebrate Holiday Traditions locally on the peninsula with many upcoming events. There are tree lighting celebrations, holiday parades, Nutcracker ballets, visits with Santa and more. Here are just a few of the events coming our way:
On Saturday, December 5, 2015, the City of Rolling Hills Estates’ annual Parade of Lights will take place with many local community groups and businesses sponsoring floats and participating in the parade. The parade will be held from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. and will travel along Silver Spur Road, Deep Valley Drive and the Center Drive. There are floats, bands, animals and, of course, Santa to make this an event to remember. It is recommended that you come a little early to find yourself a great viewing spot.
