Celebrate '14 Nights Of Christmas' With Ice Skating, Karaoke

CASTRO VALLEY, CA — Smores, movies, ice skating, and fire pits: what better way to celebrate winter?

From now until Christmas, Castro Valley’s 3Crosses Church will host a 14 Nights of Christmas celebration in its parking lot on 20600 John Drive. The “outdoor Christmas experience” will feature ice skating, a Christmas lights walk-thru, s’mores, a fire pit, pizza, and different movies and songs each night.

On Friday from 6 to 9, live music will be provided by the band in the church chapel. Food trucks from Cousins Maine Lobster and Ampuli Indian and beverages from Cafe 4 will be on-site, and kids will be able to take photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

On Saturday at the same time, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will show, and karaoke will play afterward. Food trucks from OFA’s Island BBQ and Brunch In a Box will be available.

Ice skating tickets for Friday and Saturday are sold out online, but unsold tickets will be available at the ticket booth that day.

Events are taking place nightly until Christmas Eve, with different food, drinks, and movies each night. Some nights will offer Open Mic, while others will offer a live nativity scene and petting zoo. See here for a complete calendar.
