Alameda South Shore Center has November and December packed with holiday activities and events in addition to great shopping, restaurants, and a sweet little playground when your kids need to blow off steam. Beginning November 28 with a Christmas Tree lighting through Christmas Eve, your family can visit Santa Claus and see holiday movies outdoors. Families celebrating Hanukkah can enjoy an evening of music and menorah lighting on December 30.
We thank Alameda South Shore Center for sponsoring us today.

Nov. 28, 2025, from 4 to 6 pm. Kicking off the holiday season, South Shore Center has a tree lighting event featuring Santa Claus, the tap dancing Christmas trees, live music from the Al Marshall Trio, and a special gift of a flashing candy cane wand (while supplies last). Details here >
