The holidays are upon us and we have two special events coming up in the neighborhood.
First up is the 84th Annual Holiday Tree Lighting at McLaren Lodge in Golden Gate Park (Stanyan and Fell) this Thursday. The festivities begin at 4pm, with the tree lighting taking place just after dusk. The celebration will include a train ride, live entertainment, and a special visit from Santa!
The following week on Thursday December 12, Angelina’s Cafe will host Santa Claus from 2:30pm until 4:30pm. Stop by for a pic with the jolly fellow and to decorate cookies. Plus a magic show from Professor Salamini at 3:30pm.
Angelina’s is also collecting new, unwrapped toys for the SFFD Toy Program, so if you’re headed to the Santa event, bring a toy to donate.
