In the
Village of BIG BEAR LAKE
Thanksgiving Friday!
Santa Claus greets the crowd in the Village
of Big Bear Lake
Be
ready for Jack Frost nipping at your nose when you, family and friends go to
the Annual Christmas in the Village of
Big Bear Lake, the holiday celebration for Big Bear Valley, Friday November
27th evening. The streets are
closed to traffic before 4:00 P.M. to allow for people to arrive early and
visit the shops, get a hot cocoa, enjoy cookies and warm by the fire-pits.
Thousands
of children with their parents, winter enthusiasts, and Christmas carolers, all
gather near the Christmas Tree lot located at Pine Knot Avenue and Village
Drive, to join in the joyful festivities. Bundled in warm gloves, caps and
coats the crowd is prepared to weather the cold for a short time, that for
years has jump-started the Holiday Season in Big Bear Valley.
