Santa highlights Holiday Concert

Santa Claus will be the guest of honor as he arrives on a red fire truck with lights flashing at Jerabek Neighborhood Park on Sunday, Dec. 9 for the annual Scripps Ranch Symphony in the Park Holiday Concert.

The musical portion of the event will begin at 5 p.m. with live, holiday-themed music. Children can expect light sticks and candy canes. Santa will arrive as the music begins to wrap-up. The event will officially end at 6:30 p.m.

The Holiday Concert draws a large crowd. The excitement builds as the music winds down near the end of the concert as the siren from the fire truck carrying Santa can be heard when the truck nears the park. Exuberant youngsters cheer loudly as Santa arrives and walks into the park. The jolly old elf stays around until he visits with each and every child in attendance.

Sharp health care is the official sponsor of this year’s holiday concert.
