## About

Pleasant Hill Recreation & Park District's free WinterFest turns the Community Center into an evening holiday fair for families. Children can ride a small Polar Express train, visit Santa, make festive crafts, and watch live performances during the three-hour event. It suits all ages, from toddlers in strollers to grade-schoolers. The district has not listed any pre-registration for WinterFest, unlike its ticketed Breakfast with Santa. Plan for an early-evening outing on a school night; the Community Center sits next to Pleasant Hill Park off Civic Drive.
