MoVal's Holiday Tree Lights Up the Season!

Hooray! The holidays are officially here in Moreno Valley!

 

Last weekend, the Moreno Valley community came together to welcome the holiday season during our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at City Hall, and we also celebrated Moreno Valley's 40th Anniversary with a celebratory song and specially decorated cupcakes!

 

Plus, Santa Claus himself made a special appearance to join the City Council in flipping the giant switch to light up our iconic 30-foot Holiday Tree! It was a wonderful and festive event for the entire family. And now that it's lit, we encourage Moreno Valley residents to stop by our Holiday Tree at City Hall to capture some amazing family photos for the holiday season.
