Milpitas Holiday Tree Lighting & Santa Village

About this adventure

The City of Milpitas lights up the holiday season with its energetic Holiday Tree Lighting & Santa Village at the Milpitas Civic Center Plaza. The annual family celebration features the illumination of a magnificent 30-foot decorated holiday tree, accompanied by vibrant musical and dance showcases from talented local youth academies. Children can wander through Santa's Village to participate in holiday cookie decorating, craft sparkling tree ornaments, play in festive snow play zones, and meet Santa and Mrs. Claus for complimentary family photo keepsakes while parents enjoy warm seasonal beverages from visiting food trucks. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Level concrete plaza and wide pathways throughout the Civic Center complex ensure effortless stroller movement. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Dedicated family restrooms with changing stations inside the Milpitas Community Center building right on the plaza. • Age Suitability: Tailored for families with young children from infants and toddlers to elementary and middle schoolers. • Sensory Tips: Plaza is open-air and well ventilated; quieter craft zones are situated away from the central performance stage for low-noise enjoyment.
