Holiday Fun for all Ages!

Monthly Update from Vice Mayor Heredia

Mesa’s Merry Main Street is a great way to celebrate the season!

The spectacular east valley holiday tradition returns to downtown Mesa for the tenth consecutive year with several new attractions. Merry Main Street started on Nov. 29 and continues through Jan. 11, offering an exciting variety of holiday activities:

• The Winter Wonderland Ice Rink in Downtown Mesa features a 6,005 squarefoot ice skating rink at the Plaza at Mesa City Center, 56 E. Main St. The Winter Wonderland Ice Rink will open daily for thousands to enjoy our amazing winter weather while gliding on the ice under the stars. There is limited walkup ticket availability, so online reservations are recommended. To purchase passes, visit merrymainst.com/icerink.

• More Visits with Santa! This year, Jolly ‘Ol Saint Nick will join us for free visits on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in addition to Fridays and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Bring your cell phone or camera for pictures. For the second consecutive year, Santa will be taking gift requests from all the good boys and girls at The Post, the City-owned community and event space, located at 26 N. Macdonald.

• The Holiday Sunset Market brings original and tasty gifts to Merry Main Street on Thursday, Dec. 19 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Main and Macdonald. More than 30 local vendors will be selling fresh grocery products, tasty hot food, artisan goods and more. There will also be demonstrations and live music. These are just a glimpse of the numerous activities and events taking place. For a comprehensive list of Merry Main Street activities, complete with dates and times, please visit merrymainst.com. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to dive into the festive spirit and take a trip to Merry Main Street!

As always, please contact my office if you have any questions or comments. We are happy to help! 480-644-3003 or District3@MesaAZ. gov.
