December Event #2 - Enchant Christmas at Santa Anita Park

There is something magical about the colorful twinkling and sparkling lights at Christmas time. Let's spend an evening at Santa Anita Park, strolling through their gorgeous display of lights, including the world's largest Christmas light maze, Santa's landing, a marketplace, and much more. We'll have a late lunch/early dinner first so we'll have plenty of energy to walk through all the beautiful lights.
