~ Long Beach, CA - As the holiday season approaches, the City of Long Beach Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine (PRM) is gearing up to spread some festive cheer with three family-friendly events in December. These events, which are free and open to the public, will take place at various parks across Long Beach and are part of PRM's ongoing efforts to provide safe and engaging programming for the community.

On December 13th, 2025, Silverado Park will be transformed into Santa's Workshop for a day of holiday fun from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event is being held in partnership with Neighbor-to-Neighbor, a program of California Volunteers, Office of the Governor. The aim of Santa's Workshop is to bring the community together and foster connections during this special time of year.

To make things even more exciting, an Activities Passport will be available for attendees to track their progress throughout the day.
