Irvine marks first Winter Wonderland with 25 foot tree light
City Hall welcomed about 5000 attendees for Irvine Winter Wonderland a event merging Joyful Jingles performances with a Santa visit and kids activities. Mayor Steven Choi flipped the switch lighting a 25 foot Oregon tree as artificial snow fell over the plaza. Musical groups performed inside and outside while inflatables and trackless trains full of bell ringer elves carried families around Harvard Avenue and Alton Parkway.
