Baldwin Park gives its tree lighting a Grinch twist this year, inviting families to the Esther Snyder Community Center for an evening of festive performances before the big switch-on.
The highlight is the moment the city tree lights up the night, and it makes a gentle weeknight kickoff to the season two days before the parade.
Parent tip: The program starts at 6 pm. Come a little early to find a spot with a clear view of the tree and the stage.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
