Ring in the holiday shopping season and kick off Menlo Park's Centennial Celebration with a festive "winter wonderland" themed event in downtown Menlo Park! Enjoy free family-friendly entertainment, youth performances, centennial and winter-themed photo opportunities, hot cocoa (quantities limited) and the tree lighting. We will be lighting our beautiful Menlo Park oak tree as we give our beloved pine tree a well deserved break. Shop and dine at local Menlo Park small businesses while you are downtown. All ages are welcome. This event is rain or shine on Friday, Dec. 4, from 5:30-7 p.m. at Fremont Park, Santa Cruz Ave. at University Dr.
