(Christmas Season gets into full swing)....In El Centro, it starts Friday.

El Centro Kicks-off the holiday season with their Christmas Tree Lighting and Street Fair. The event is Friday, December 2, at 11th and Main Streets in El Centro. It all starts at 5:00 pm. The Christmas Tree Lighting and Street Fair is a great family event featuring a special appearance from Santa Claus, a decorated Christmas Tree, live performances by the Southwest High School Orchestra, and the Original Cool Deal, or OCD Rock Band. Organizers say it will be a night full of fun activities for the entire family with food, artists and other vendors and a lot of Holiday Cheer.
