The Christmas season is coming!
The City of Doral is hosting a variety of free holiday events during December that will bring fun and cheer to the community.

It is an evening in which thousands of lights will illuminate Government Center and Downtown Doral Park to start the festivities. There will be holiday sweets and a hot chocolate drink cart. There will be also family-friendly activities and live performances. Children can take part in various arts and crafts, as well as having the opportunity to write a letter to Santa. Mrs. Claus will also be there to join the kids for storytime.
Doral will bring snow, Santa, and holiday cheers with the biggest event, Holiday Lights & Ice on Dec. 13, at Doral Central Park from 6 p.m.
The night will be filled with snow piles and snow in the air, that will make Doral Central Park become into a Winter Wonderland with 85 tons of snow to play and for all families to enjoy!
There will be carnival rides, food, musical performances, and more family-friendly activities. There is no age limit to have fun during this event…
