¡Fiestas Navideñas en la Calle Main iluminará sus fiestas con una noche mágica en el centro de Placerville! La comunidad de Placerville se reúne cada año, llenando Main Street de familias, amigos y vecinos para compartir un cálido momento en la cuenta atrás para encender el árbol navideño tradicional. Muchas tiendas locales permanecen abiertas hasta tarde, con restaurantes y vendedores de comida listos para servir deliciosas comidas y dulces. El entretenimiento llena las calles cerradas, creando un ambiente vibrante. Es una tradición sencilla y conmovedora que las familias y los residentes aprecian mucho.

Llegue temprano, aparcar puede ser un reto, ¡pero lo pasará muy bien!
🎄 El evento comienza a las 4pm y la cuenta atrás para el encendido del árbol de Navidad empezará a las 6pm.
🎅 SANTA CLAUS estará en T.W. BONKERS 'Toy & Candy Emporium' de 4 a 6 de la tarde y de 6:30 a 8 de la tarde.

El cierre de la calle comienza a las 2:30PM y los vehículos no aprobados deberán ser despejados antes de las 3pm. El incumplimiento puede resultar en la aplicación de estacionamiento y / o remolque a expensas de los propietarios. Main Street se reabrirá a la conclusión del evento a las 8 pm.
