Thank you to The Alameda South Shore Center for sponsoring our guide to our favorite safe and festive Christmas and holiday activities in the East Bay. Where to go for merry outings and more!
2020 has shaken up our traditions a bit, but there’s still a lot of merry to be had! Advance reservations often required. There are still so many lovely events, activities, and outings in celebration of the Christmas season, we thought we’d make a list to help you narrow in on a few that sound best for your family.
Alameda South Shore Holiday Activities for Families
Shopping at Alameda South Shore Center is extra sparkly with the magical new decorations throughout the center. While you’re there, look for new safe and socially distanced reindeer scavenger hunt. (We’re super bummed to report that Santa Clause has been asked to stay home and the evening movies under the stars were cancelled)
