You won't want to miss the Menifee Christmas Tree Lighting this Saturday, Dec. 12, from 4-8 p.m. at the Menifee Town Center Roundabout. The family fun atmosphere seen at the Fall Festival and other recent events will be evident again when the big tree is lighted as the centerpiece of an event featuring music, games, snow and a visit from Santa Claus.

There will be an elves' craft workshop, outdoor movie, food and more. Access to the roundabout in the soon-to-be-constructed Menifee Town Center will be better this year too, with entrances off both Newport Road and La Piedra Road at Town Center Drive.

Winners of the Menifee Holiday House Decorating Contest will also be announced that night. Bring the kids and have some fun!
