Celebrate the Holiday Season

Come celebrate the start of the holiday season with us in Victorville! We hope you'll join us for two special traditions that we look forward to each year.

75th Annual Victorville Christmas Parade

The 75th Annual Christmas Parade hosted by the Victorville Kiwanis is Saturday, Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. on 7th Street between La Paz Drive and Forrest Avenue. 

Bring your holiday cheer and enjoy marching bands, dance groups, car clubs, horses, and an appearance by Santa! This year's Grand Marshal will be former Victorville Planning Commissioner and long-time community advocate, Larry Huber.

Festival of Lights and Tree Lighting

Our Festival of Lights and Tree Lighting is also on Dec. 3! We hope you’ll join us for this magical event as we light up our brand new tree from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Take a photo with Santa and Mrs. Claus and shop our vendor booths for holiday gifts. We will have free horse-drawn carriage rides and a Kid’s Zone. 

For more information, call (760) 245-5551.

Fill the Ambulance

Our Victorville Fire Department is proud to partner with AMR on the Fill the Ambulance Campaign again this year! 

Please help local children and families enjoy a special holiday by donating new toys, clothes, teen gifts, and more.

Look for the Ambulance at Panera Bread in Victorville from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Dec. 3, 4, 10 and 11.

You can also drop your gifts at one of our Victorville Fire Stations. 

May you and yours enjoy peace, love and joy!

Winter Day Camp

Looking for fun kids’ activities during the winter break? Have your children join us for our Winter Day Camp! 

We will have festive activities and lots of holiday fun!  There will be two sessions, Dec. 19-23 & Dec. 26-30 at Hook Community Center. 

Full day and half day camps are available for children ages five to 12. 

For more information and to enroll, visit VictorvilleCA.gov/Recreation.

Funding is provided by the Community Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Programs to assist eligible nonprofits and service programs that benefit Victorville residents.

Applicants are required to attend at least one of the two remaining workshops to aid in the preparation of applications.

Facility Improvements

With revenue generated by Measure P, infrastructure improvements have been made to four of our community facilities enabling us to improve services for our residents.

Recently, Westwinds Sports Center, Westwinds Activities Center, and Doris Davies Recreation Center were reroofed allowing for an increase in youth and recreation programs.

Additionally, the tennis courts at Sunset Ridge Park were resurfaced and now offer pickleball.

To learn more, visit VictorvilleCA.gov/MeasureP.

As outlined in our Strategic Plan, Sunset Ridge Park will soon be home to our first library kiosk thanks to revenue generated by Measure P!  

The kiosk creates an extension of our Victorville City Library so that we can expand library services for our community. 

Residents can checkout books directly at the kiosk and view reading material through the display glass.  A Victorville library card will not be required. 

Through remote access, City staff will be able to monitor inventory levels so that in-demand genres are available.  

We expect the kiosk to make it's debut at Sunset Ridge Park in Summer 2023.
