64th Annual Las Posadas Takes Place at Heritage Park in Old Town San Diego
Join us for the 64th Annual Las Posadas event in Heritage County Park in Old Town San Diego which takes place at 7 p.m., Friday, December 9 at 2454 Heritage Park Row. Presented by the Old Town San Diego Chamber of Commerce, Old Town Trolley Tours, and the Mormon Battalion Historic Site, Las Posadas (“the inns” or “the lodgings”) is a centuries-old Mexican celebration. The event represents the several nights Mary and Joseph, accompanied by a flock of shepherds and angels, sought shelter at different inns in Bethlehem.
There will be six stations in Heritage County Park as we follow Joseph and Mary astride a donkey. Each station features a brief narration and call-and-response verses performed by volunteers from the Mormon Battalion Historic Site.
After the final station, guests are invited back to the Mormon Battalion Historic Site for refreshments. New this year, event organizers will be offering guests the opportunity to participate in a service project sorting and packaging donated items for the food bank at Old Town Community Church.
