The forecast calls for snow in Point Loma this weekend, as Liberty Station hosts Holiday Station — its North Pole-themed winter festival — on Saturday, Dec. 11 from noon to 5 p.m. “It’s a free event and it’s supporting their local community. It’s a way to explore Liberty Station, which is a resource in their backyard,” said event organizer Bonnie Vieira. Formerly known as Holiday Night on the Promenade, Liberty Station’s annual seasonal event has made a shift from evening to afternoon. The event culminates with a tree lighting around dusk, about 4:45 p.m. “Previously, it was more of an evening event,” Vieira said. “We decided to move it to the daytime to take advantage of the light and bring in more activities.” In addition to child-themed activities, Holiday Station will cater to a wider age group. Activities for the older crowd include a classic custom car show and a walkthrough art exhibition. “It has always been a family-friendly event, and this year we’re actually expanding to include some activities that, hopefully, will be of interest to an audience that is larger than just families — including more of the adult sector and people who are visiting San Diego and want a really memorable afternoon,” Vieira said. Children will be able to have their fun, too. Snow will blanket Ingram Plaza for kids to play in and sled in, providing a brief taste of a white Christmas. “The snow is going to be a big hit,” Vieira said. “We’re really excited to have that out there.” Holiday Station also features bounce houses, pony rides, train rides and crafts for children. In addition, kids can get their picture taken with old St. Nick for free. “Those are free photos that are instant. Parents always want to get their kids’ photos, but it’s open to anyone,” Vieira said. Traditional holiday music will come courtesy of the Point Loma Nazarene University’s brass ensemble and the Correia Middle School band. On-stage performances will include Mystic Dance’s youth dance troop, Dancing Kids tap and jazz-style dance moves and the San Diego Ballet’s rendition of “The Nut-cracker.” The afternoon will also highlight the array of merchants at Liberty Station. Locals can get some last-minute holiday shopping done or explore the area in the family-friendly scavenger hunt. “We have assembled a collection of different retailers and tenants at Liberty Station and we are providing a scavenger-hunt map and a trolley you can hop on and off. People have to follow their map and hunt down the different locations and at these points on the map they will get a prize,” Vieira said. Liberty Station is located at 2640 Historic Decatur Road.
