There's a dash of Christmas in the air, even if all we are missing is the snow! Christmas cheer begins in the Yakima Valley beginning this Thursday, December 11th, through Sunday, December 14th.

From Christmas holiday bazaars, toy trains, bake sales, musicals and plays, to whimsical holiday light drive-thrus and luminated walks in the dark, there's got to be at least one Christmas pop-up event that will make even the Grinchiest heart melt just a little.
