ONTARIO, California – The Christmas on Euclid Experience, produced by the Greater Ontario Convention & Visitors Bureau, has been a tradition for thousands of visitors each year since 1922. Families are delighted each year with the start of The Christmas on Euclid Experience in Ontario, California. Historic Euclid Avenue is transformed into a whimsical winter wonderland with block upon block of beautiful lights. The twinkling exhibition of festive lights and decorations are on display throughout the holiday season.

The official tree lighting ceremony will take place at Ontario Town Square on Friday, December 2, 2016 at 6:00pm. The community is invited to join together for a fun evening to kick off the holiday season! Food vendors, local dance groups, and the arrival of Santa are planned for the event.

On Saturday, December 3, 2016 the annual craft fair and festival takes place from 10:00am to 6:00pm at Ontario Town Square and on historic Euclid Avenue. Families are invited to enjoy the holiday market, craft fair, snow play and ice skating, live performances and a Santa of course! Thousands of people descend on Euclid Avenue to shop, enjoy food, holiday music, horse drawn carriage rides, and reindeer games! Throughout the day several live performances will entertain the crowd at Ontario Town Square including local high school bands and dancers plus holiday music in the afternoon will round out the activities.

Part of the tradition of Christmas on Euclid Experience is the twelve Nativity Scenes that are placed on the Euclid Avenue median. The Nativity crèches and statues are displayed for the enjoyment of area residents and visitors to the City of Ontario. Individuals, businesses, community leaders, and service organizations have supported the Nativity Scenes since 1958. “The Nativity Scenes are one of the regions’ most notable works of art done by a very famous local artist Rudolph Vargas” said Michael Krouse, President and CEO of the Greater Ontario Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We welcome visitors and our local community to be a part of the events, from live music and dancers to play time in the snow and appreciation of art – we have something for everyone.” Krouse said.
