This holiday rundown sponsored by our amigos at Giuseppi’s on Blvd. Fremont
Local schools are parading holiday lights through the streets, Santa has been spotted several times around town, piñatas don many a posada, and we’ve entered the “Lupe-Reyes marathon” marking the time from Dec. 12th (Día de la Virgen) to Jan. 6th (Kings Day). That’s right, Noche Buena is right around the corner and it’s time to run down the weekend! Don’t miss this weekend’s Mermaids Market as both the final arts market of 2014, not to mention all the discounts we hear will be offered across the plaza!
