Held from late November through early January, the festival transforms the inn and its surroundings into a winter wonderland, complete with ornate decorations, animated figures, and a grand tree-lighting ceremony.

It is one of our favorite local places to camp and I always try to book the same spot as it is very large and pretty. One of the things about camping near Riverside is there are many places to go see/visit and places to eat. Here I am in front of the Cheech with a statue of him. We had a very nice local trip and had friends camping next to us.
