The Holiday Plaza

Mission Plaza lit up at nightMission Plaza is the centerpiece of downtown San Luis Obispo — it all happens here! This year, we’re excited to bring back Santa’s House, the Classic Carousel, dazzling photo spots, and an animated musical light show! Events at the Plaza include the Hanukkah Menorah Lighting Ceremony, performances from the SLO County Band and the SLO Youth Symphony, and much more!

Join Downtown SLO on Friday, November 25, 2022, at noon to watch Santa ride into Mission Plaza on a
firetruck, enjoy a live performance from the SLO County Band, and celebrate the opening of all the fun in
the Holiday Plaza.
