Santa's Jolly Trolley + La Plaza Park Tree Lighting
Santa Claus and his elves from the Recreation Division ride on the Jolly Trolley, making stops at various parks in Dana Point, where Santa hands out pre-packaged treats for kids up to 12 years of age.
Santa’s elves also collect letters to Santa. (Please include your mailing address on the letter so Santa can return a special letter to you.)
