There was some incredible holiday spirit at the Cube this past Friday, all excited to see their fifth annual Christmas tree lighting.

Santa Clarita residents and children waited with excitement to see the Christmas tree glow and participate in all the Christmas activities.

“Again, just a place to come down, meet people, and a great place for everybody to socialize, and they can come with their families,” said Daryl Evans, Broadcaster for L.A King’s.

“It’s age-appropriate for everybody, there’s something here for everybody to do, and again at this time of the season, it’s always special, so come on out and visit and have yourself a good old time,” said Evans.

With a sea of excited faces and bundled-up kids, a sneak peek into the ice show, The Nutcracker, followed the Christmas tree lighting. It’s all beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

“We’re excited because it brings the community together, it brings the people who may not know what the Cube is and what we do here, it brings people to come see what the Cube is, and before you know it, people start liking it and coming here,” Bill Miranda, Mayor of Santa Clarita.

To top it all off, West Ranch Junior Varsity hosted its game last night.

They had a teddy bear toss, following their first score; all teddy bears thrown into the ring were collected and donated to the RISE Foundation, which helps support children in the foster care system.

“My favorite time of the year is the holidays, I love Christmas, I love Christmas trees, I love all the lights, I love the festive feeling, and for the city of Santa Clarita, we have some incredible holiday events,” said Carrie Lujan, Communication Manager for Santa Clarita.

With plenty of entertainment and community focus, stop by the Cube in Santa Clarita if you want to feel the Christmas spirit and enjoy ice skating, or attend any of their upcoming events.
