Festivities commence in early November with Santa's Arrival and the lighting of the massive live 45-foot Christmas tree in Chaffey Town Square, accompanied by Dickens-costumed carolers, brass bands, and holiday craft booths. Every evening throughout December, artificial snowflakes flutter down over the town square lawn to seasonal holiday music, delighting toddlers and children dancing underneath the flurry. Families can visit Santa inside his festive garden cottage for photos, ride the vintage carousel on South Mainstreet, and grab warm cinnamon sugar pretzels and cocoa. Stroller accessibility is seamless throughout the flat pedestrian streets. ## Similar picks in Riverside - [Nightly Holiday Light Shows at Victoria Gardens](https://grassyknees.com/riverside/activities/nightly-holiday-light-shows-at-victoria-gardens--listing-0f77badb4d9df4eed258ed92) — Nov 6 – Dec 24 · Chaffey Town Square, Victoria Gardens, Rancho Cucamonga · All ages · checked Oct 24.
