Chino Christmas FAQ
The Santa’s Workshop and Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at Chino City Hall is the city’s signature holiday event, featuring festive activities, live entertainment, and the official tree lighting.
Chino’s tree lighting ceremony brings together city officials and the community for a shared celebration, while neighborhood light displays foster a friendly, local spirit each December.
Saddlewood Community (Spur Court) and the Park East 2 neighborhood (Tucker Avenue) are known for impressive light displays, and areas near Cypress, San Antonio, and Walnut also participate each year.
Local markets and craft fairs are often held at city parks and community centers during the holiday season, offering a chance to shop from Chino artisans and small businesses.
Enjoying neighborhood light displays, attending the city’s tree lighting ceremony, and visiting local holiday markets are all free or low-cost ways to celebrate the season in Chino.
The Santa’s Workshop event, neighborhood light tours, and holiday markets with kid-friendly activities are all excellent choices for families visiting Chino during the holidays.
