The City of Atascadero is joining a couple other local cities in hosting a socially-distant holiday celebration.
Friday's "Downtown Drive-In Holiday Lighting Celebration" starts at 5:15 p.m. at the Sunken Gardens with holiday lights and music.
Santa and Mrs. Claus plan to arrive on a firetruck.
Earlier in the day, two of Santa’s reindeer will be at Historic City Hall.
Organizers say this will be a great picture opportunity for families from noon to 6 p.m.
City officials have announced a couple other events happening Friday.
They say families can drive by the "Glow-Shine-Sparkle Reverse Holiday Parade" at Atascadero High School.
Some local student organizations and non-profits designed the stationary floats for the parade.
Atascadero residents and visitors can also pick up a "Trail of Lights Holiday Lighting Tour" map.
Several businesses and residents have participated by displaying holiday decorations.
The map can be found at www.visitatascadero.com/holidaylights.
Lights will be on display until Christmas.
