Rotary Christmas in the Park

Light trees at dusk, Rotary's Christmas in the Park, Diefenbaker Park

Every December the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen hosts Christmas in the Park, a festival for children of all ages at Diefenbaker Park. Families meet Santa, sing carols, decorate cookies, roast marshmallows, follow the storybook walk and have their faces painted. Club volunteers put up the park's lights and characters each November.
