Balboa Park
As part of the long-standing tradition of Christmas on the Prado, during the evening hours the Museum of Man Plaza will again be transformed into the holiday traditions of Sweden, with the hard work and support of the Swedish Women's Educational Association. Wonderful Swedish foods, including genuine Swedish meatballs, open-faced sandwiches, rosettes served with fresh whipped cream and preserves, and the popular hot, spiced Swedish Christmas wine called glögg will be available. The Santa Lucia Procession continues to be one of the largest draws of the Park-wide event. Performances are scheduled for 6:00 and 8:00 each evening.
