The event will also feature a variety of food vendors selling fresh popped kettle corn, hot food items, beverages and more, plus a fresh new variety of vendors to shop for unique holiday gifts! And, as the sun goes down, relax with friends and family around cozy fire pits and take in all the merriment of the season that surrounds you in downtown La Mesa.
