California: Yountville's 19th annual Festival of Lights
A block party starring Santa kicks off the Napa Valley town's holiday celebrations. A 2 p.m. parade ushers the big man to his post, where the kids can gather.

When, where: 2 to 6 p.m. Nov. 23, along Washington Street.
Cost: Free; tasting tickets are for sale, with tastings $1 to $5.
Info: (707) 944-0904, www.yountville.com.
