For the third year in a row, Winter Village will settle in Santa Ana, during which there will be an ice skating rink, souvenir fair, and food trucks.

• The fairy-tale town opens on December 2 on the day of lighting the main Christmas tree of the city. It will be open for a month.
• A portable outdoor rink will allow Winter Village guests ages 3 and up to skate for a 90-minute session.
• Among the entertainment offered are light shows, food trucks, and souvenir markets. Also shopping from local vendors and a performance by the Anaheim Ducks Street Team.
• And on Saturday, Dec. 9, from 9 to 11 a.m., visitors can enjoy Breakfast with Santa.

All in all, it will be a moonlit outdoor celebration filled with family warmth and coziness. In the heart of Orange County, at the Plaza of the Flags, a fairy-tale town will settle in. And it will offer a wide range of entertainment through December 31.

For those who love ice skating, Winter Village will have a world-class ice skating rink. Everyone will be able to rent equipment and test their skills. General admission to the rink is $15 for adults (13+) and $10 for children (3-12). Santa Ana residents are offered a discounted skate rate of $10 for adults and $5 for children.

In addition, there will be special days with themed activities. For example, when parents and children can read a story with Mrs. Claus. Or enjoy a treat while watching the daily holiday light show.

"While Santa Ana is a diverse city with much to offer throughout the year, Winter Village is a special community event that brings residents, neighbors and visitors together to celebrate the holiday season," said Mayor Valerie Amescua.

In fact, this event will unite the entire general neighborhood. After all, it will involve not only guests and residents as visitors, but also local businesses.
