Nov. 29: Julian Country Christmas and Tree Lighting:  The tree lighting is set to take place in Julian’s Pioneer Park marks the beginning of the annual Julian Country Christmas celebration, featuring three weeks of holiday festivity during which visitors and residents can capture the spirit of the season in an old fashioned way. It’s easy to get into the spirit of the season in Julian, where it just feels like Christmas. With the scents of apple pies emerging from ovens and spiced cider on a back burner, Julian also smells like Christmas. Founded during a gold rush in the 1870s, Julian looks and sounds like Christmas too. Twinkling white lights and garland outline wooden false-fronted buildings along Main Street and up the side streets. In the spirit of the season, many shopkeepers add their own favorite Santas, sleighs and reindeer, garlands, wreaths and bows to the show. Everywhere you’ll hear the sounds of Christmas as well…costumed strolling carolers recall Victorian times, when Julian was a thriving Gold Rush town, and the Julian Doves and Desperadoes share Christmas memories in living history dramas.  (760) 765-1857
