Children can celebrate a traditional Latin American Christmas at Farnsworth Park on Friday, Dec. 20.
The event starts at 7 PM, and includes a "Las Posadas" celebration, with hot chocolate and pan dulce. There will also be folklorico dancers performing, pinatas, and a toy giveaway. Santa has also promised to make an appearance.
The park is also looking for new unwrapped toy donations for children ages 1-14.
Donate toys at the park or at El Patron Mexican Restaurant. Donations are tax deductible -- come to the park to get the federal tax ID and a donation letter (not available at El Patron). Donations at the park will be taken Monday-Friday 9 AM-6 PM, or Saturday-Sunday 10 AM-5 PM.
The celebration will be at the Davies Auditorium at Farnsworth Park, 568 E. Mt. Curve.
