Temple City Lights Up for the Holidays

On Wednesday, Dec. 9 Temple City Park was host to the annual “Lights on Temple City” event. Twenty-five tons of snow was brought in for a snow play area where local children enjoyed sledding and playing on two snow runs built with the imported snow.

Visits with Santa, as well as a variety of crafts and entertainers also kept the little ones busy. Free cookies, hot cocoa and coffee were also available for the hundreds of residents in attendance.

The Temple City High School Brighter Side Singers were on hand to perform plenty of holiday favorites and a mini parade was held along Las Tunas Drive where Santa made his grand entrance into Temple City Park for the lighting of the city’s 100-foot redwood tree.
