Hospitality Night 2015 is an annual community event that kicks off the holiday season. Downtown merchants, non-profit organizations and the Chamber provide a myriad of activities around downtown along with live musical entertainment, ice skating, strolling Victorian carolers, hot chocolate, tamale sales and more! This year we are very excited to welcome Snow White and Cinderella to our Trolley processional and to welcome The Montage with homemade hot chocolate and cookies. Laguna Beach's only FM station, KX93.5, will be broadcasting live during the event! Ken Garcia and his band open the evening on the main stage, followed by The Live Oak Revue.
