      Residents are invited to celebrate the holiday season with neighbors and community members during a festive evening gathering in Highland Park.

      By Melanie Hooks

      The event aims to kick off the season with joy, lights, and holiday cheer, encouraging families and friends to come together and create lasting memories.

      The celebration will begin at 5:00 pm at the Highland Park Senior Center, located at 6152 N. Figueroa St. Attendees can enjoy live music and performances, holiday-themed arts and crafts for all ages, and winter-inspired fun, including magical snow. A special visit from Santa is also planned, along with additional surprises and seasonal activities throughout the evening.

      The event is presented by Ysabel Jurado, Los Angeles City Councilmember for District 14, and is open to the community as a family-friendly holiday gathering.
