Winter Wonderland returns to Pico Rivera's Holiday Festival and Tree Lighting, complete a snow area for snow tossing & play. It wouldn't be The Holiday Season until the City of Pico Rivera officially lights the beautiful tree - in between a whole lot of winter fun. Southern California winters require trucking in snow and that's just fine with us so here you go -

• Soto band performs live in concert
• Tree Lighting
• Elves Workshop for Kids
• Elves Body Art Painting
• Santa Express rides
• Holiday Vendor Fair
• Foods for sale

Pico Rivera  City Hall  transforms into a Winter Wonderland so be sure to bring your snow boots and mittens. In addition to the snow play area, music lovers will want to get their dancing shoes on as Soto will be performing live at the event.
