Fallbrook Historical Society's annual holiday event slated for Sunday, Dec. 6

The Fallbrook Historical Society's annual holiday event offers the perfect balance of activities for the entire family.

"It’s all part of the Fallbrook Holiday weekend; it follows the lighting of the official Fallbrook Holiday Tree on Friday, Dec. 4 at the community center and the Fallbrook Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 5," explained Roy Moosa, president of the historical society. "The Fallbrook Historical Society's Old-Fashioned Christmas takes place on Sunday, Dec. 6.

Festivities will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. at the museum complex located at the corner of Rockycrest Road and S. Hill St.

All ages will enjoy it when holiday music fills the air. The Fallbrook High School band performs at 2 p.m. and the junior high school band at 2:30. The Fallbrook High School Madrigal singers will take center court at 3 p.m. to herald the arrival of Santa to the event.

"It’s the kids first chance to meet Santa (in person) and it’s a great way to kick off the holiday season," said Moosa.

Children will be able to enjoy activities such as arts and crafts, a scavenger hunt, and more.

Vendor booths will feature food and activities.

In addition to special holiday activities, all museum buildings will be open and decorated for Christmas so families can explore the treasures within and learn more about Fallbrook's history. (Pets are not allowed inside buildings).

Volunteers that have worked diligently to organize this year's

event include Tracey Lubben, Veronica Pertusini, Don McLean Jr., Lisa Wilson, and Roy Moosa.

The Fallbrook Historical Society is located at 1730 S. Hill Street (corner of Rocky Crest Road and Hill Street).
