Municipalities located in the “High Desert”, en region beliggende i den vestlige Mojave-ørken i det sydlige Californien, forbereder julen 2022 med fester og parader, men vil måske pynte palmer i stedet for fyrretræer og graner.
A “white” Christmas is unlikely in the desert, but expect holiday vibes with food, hot cocoa, cookies, Christmas-themed gifts and of course Santa Claus.
All major municipalities in Victor Valley will be involved in December, with a major event in Victorsville which includes both the annual Christmas Parade and a Christmas Tree Lightning Ceremony, and smaller events held in the City of Adelanto, the Town of Apple Valley, the City of Hesperia, and Barstow.
