As a celebration of the nativity, Christmas for Latino families often includes the symbolic "Posadas" taking place the nine days before Christmas. The Posada procession is a reenactment of Mary and Joseph going from inn to inn, seeking lodging for the night. This wonderful tradition is brought to life in Redwood City, combined with a multi-cultural festive flair and fun activities for the entire family. The community is invited to share in this enriching and inspiring experience, and perhaps gain a new perception into the meaning of Christmas. Schedule of events:
