Los Lunas Holiday Events Bring Community Cheer and Civic Pride

The Village of Los Lunas carried forward a week of holiday programming that began with the Christmas Parade on December 6, 2025 and will culminate in a Santa's Coming to Town celebration on December 12, 2025 at Daniel Fernandez Memorial Park from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. The events included a community tree lighting and a range of family oriented activities designed to bring residents together during the holiday season.

Local organizers invited community groups, school bands, nonprofits, and businesses to take part in parade festivities and related programming. Residents were encouraged to register for parade participation and other holiday events through the Village recreation portal. That registration process is intended to coordinate entries, stage logistics and safety plans so volunteers and municipal staff can manage street closures and crowd flow effectively.

For Valencia County residents the events serve several practical purposes. They provide a focal point for neighborhood traditions, especially as families gather for seasonal celebrations. They create short term traffic adjustments near downtown Los Lunas and Daniel Fernandez Memorial Park, which can affect commuting and local deliveries. They also offer small businesses and vendors the chance to engage with residents during high foot traffic evenings, supporting local commerce during a critical retail period.

Municipal coordination of volunteers and public safety resources helps ensure that the tree lighting and Santa event run smoothly. The programming reflects an effort to be inclusive of the village’s diverse population, offering accessible family activities in a public park setting. For those who missed parade registration deadlines, the park event on December 12 provides a live opportunity to join in the community gathering, see seasonal decorations, and participate in a neighborhood tradition that helps anchor civic life in Los Lunas.

Residents seeking to join future events or to register entries for parades and programs should use the Village recreation portal to sign up and to confirm any street closures or parking restrictions associated with holiday activities.
