There’s no place like Eastmark for the holidays…and you won’t need to roam far from home for a heaping dose of holiday cheer this December. We’ve planned a festive two-night lineup of holiday goodness that’s sure to get you into the spirit of the season.

On Friday, Dec. 2, invite your family and friends to the Eastmark Holiday Variety Show featuring some awesome local talent. Then on Saturday night, we’re hosting a special Eastmark Holiday Party that’s just for you and your fellow Eastmark residents. Details below.

Eastmark Holiday Variety Show

Friday, Dec. 2.
6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The Eastmark Great Park
Guests and public welcome

We can’t think of a better way to usher in the holiday season than to gather as a community for a merry night of music, dance, comedy and storytelling. We’ve assembled an impressive group of local talent, so be sure to invite your family and friends for this free public event featuring:

• East Valley Community Theatre Bravo Troupe
• Desert Star Dancers
• BASIS Mesa Musical Motivators Strings Ensemble
• Red Mountain High School Carolers
• Storyline Collective
• Garrett Van Rooy, Improv Comedian and Emcee

Don’t forget to bring along your low-back chairs, warm jackets and blankets. Bring an appetite, too, because a selection of food trucks will be onsite cooking up warm eats and treats.

Eastmark Holiday Party

Saturday, Dec. 3
5 to 8 p.m.
Palm Plaza at The ‘Mark
Private resident event

After Friday night’s event with all your family and friends, this one’s just for you, Eastmark residents! You’re invited to join us for the annual Eastmark Holiday Party on Palm Plaza (just outside The ‘Mark) where neighbors will gather for a night of holiday merriment. This year we’re bringing the bright lights and big city vibe right here to Eastmark.

Picture a stroll past festive store-front windows, the smell of warm holiday fare filling the “street of treats,” and urban carolers singing hip holiday tunes. The ”city” will be abuzz with face painting and ornament making, family photo ops and train rides. Then we’ll rival Rockefeller with our very own official tree lighting. You’re invited to carry on the tradition and bring an ornament (unbreakable, please) to add to the Eastmark tree.

Most importantly, we’ll celebrate the season of sharing. Santa’s letting us borrow his sleigh for the night so we can fill it with lots of goodies for children and families served by House of Refuge. Learn more about how you can help.

We want to see you there! Register online by Wednesday, Nov. 30. Eastmark residents only, please.
