Creating a holiday celebration like no other in South LA, Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza and Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson present a day full of free winter activities for the entire family, including sledding and snowman building with real snow, holiday crafts, festive entertainment, as well hot chocolate and holiday treats. There will also be a visit from Santa Claus, toy giveaways, along with surprise entertainment.

"Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza are proud to present the largest annual holiday event within the Crenshaw corridor. We are dedicated to giving back and celebrating here in the community," says Rachel Freeman, President & CEO, Capri Retail Services.
