Liberty Station will showcase Santa, shopping and star sightings on Saturday, Dec. 12. The scenic Point Loma spot will host Holiday Night on the Promenade from 4 to 8 p.m. “It’s going to be a fun event,” said event producer Erin Dial. “It’s geared toward family and the true meaning of the holidays.” For those last-minute shoppers, the event’s holiday bazaar will allow them to get some eleventh-hour gifts. All of the merchants at Liberty Station will be selling gift certificates and stocking stuffers during the event, and Boy Scout Troop 24 from Ocean Beach will sell holiday wreaths. Some tenants will also provide free gift wrapping. “We have such a unique group of merchants down here and different types of tenants,” Dial said. “Sometimes people may just recognize the big names or somewhere that they go on a regular basis, so this just helps people be able to see everything that we have to offer.” The free event will feature a host of holiday activities for children, including photos with Santa, letters to Santa and ornament decorating. Other children’s activities include bounce houses, face painting and balloon artists. “It’s going to be a fun time for everyone to spend together,” Dial said. Other highlights of the evening include a tree lighting, carolers and an autograph signing and photo-op with sibling celebrities Doug and Chris Brochu. Doug co-stars on Disney’s “Sonny With a Chance” and Chris has made appearances on “Hannah Montana” and Nickelodeon’s “Zoey 101.” Those who attend Holiday Night on the Promenade are encouraged to bring a new and unwrapped gift. The gifts will be donated to the Promises2Kids Holiday Gift Drive. For more information, visit www.libertystation.com. Holiday Night on the Promenade will conclude a full day of holiday events at Liberty Station.
