About this Event
Hear those sleigh bells jingling? Santa Claus is coming to Downtown LA!
Bring the whole family to Picnic with Santa presented by ASU in partnership with the DTLA Alliance Community Trust! Join us in Grand Hope Park at ASU California Center Grand (919 S. Grand Avenue) for a mid-morning visit with the North Pole’s most famous resident.
Kids can get a free photo with Santa, make arts and crafts with Majestic Art Gallery, and enjoy face painting, balloon twisting, train rides, and milk and cookies. Kiddle Karoo will also perform marionette and magic shows throughout the event.
So polish up those wish lists (or write one at the event), pack a picnic lunch, and get ready to make merry memories with your loved ones in the heart of Downtown LA!
