Let It Snow is West Covina’s tree lighting night, held in the City Hall parking lot on Garvey Avenue South, and as the name promises, the city brings in snow for the occasion.
Last year’s edition paired the lighting with snow sledding, games, music, food and vendors. The city has not posted the full 2026 lineup yet, so check its Special Events page closer to the date.
Parent tip: Dress kids in layers and bring dry socks if they plan to sled. The lot is right off the 10 freeway, so arrive early for a nearby parking spot.

The West Covina Kiwanis Club and the city stage the Children’s Christmas Parade along South Glendora Avenue in Historic Downtown West Covina, with youth groups, schools and local organizations marching for a Saturday morning crowd.
Santa’s Village sets up alongside the route with vendors, so families can catch the parade and then line up to see Santa without moving the car.
Parent tip: Glendora Avenue fills early. Bring folding chairs, find a curb spot before 9 am, and head to Santa’s Village once the last entries pass.

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.
