Copperopolis, Calif.--Saddle Creek Resort Townsquare is the hub of community activities such as an annual Christmas Tree Lighting and visit with Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus.

Copperopolis Christmas is a unique gathering around an old-fashioned town square. Welcoming the lighted holiday tree, local dignitaries, residents and Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus, there's something for all ages to enjoy at this holiday event, one of many in the region. A beautiful, live tree adorned with holiday lights now greets guests to a completed Town Square, part of a development years in the making.
