Mountain View is gearing up for one of its most beloved traditions as Christmas on the Square returns December 5th and 6th, filling downtown with lights, music, festive activities, and classic small-town holiday charm. Families are encouraged to stay through the weekend and return
Sunday, December 7th, for the annual Christmas on the Square Church Service, presented by Compass View Church at 10:30 a.m. on the courthouse stage.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will be greeting children both Friday and Saturday at the courthouse gazebo—transformed into Mountain View’s own “North Pole.” Families can enjoy photos, Christmas wishes, and magical holiday moments throughout the weekend.

• Saturday, Dec. 6: 10 a.m.–12 p.m., 1–5 p.m., 6:30–8 p.m.
