Mayor's Welcome

In the City of Garden Grove, holiday magic is all around us. From the Winter in the Grove event that brings snow, Santa and the lighting of the tree, to the H. Louis Lake Senior Center, where Garden Grove seniors pick up some warm and frozen holiday meals. We looked in on some elves wrapping and filling boxes for local families and Santa distributing some early Christmas presents to happy youngsters. We also stopped by Bracken's Kitchen to witness a huge end-of-year push to feed hungry people here and throughout the area.

The City's Re:Imagine Garden Grove Open Streets event returns Saturday, April 2, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.! This year, attendees can walk, bike, skate, scooter, or ride a 2.2-mile, car-free route from Brookhurst Street to Nelson Street and 8th Street.

Some of the new attractions this year include activities along the newly-dedicated Medal of Honor Bike and Pedestrian Trail, Lucha Libre entertainment, and Ferris wheel. The 2.2-mile route will also feature live music, food trucks, and free surrey bike rentals.

The free event will feature the Garden Grove unified School District's First Impressions Student Art Gallery, as well as hands-on interactive art exhibits.
