The City of Santa Clarita invites residents to celebrate the holiday season with four exciting, free events held in Old Town Newhall and Old Orchard Park on Saturday, November 15 and Sunday, November 16.

The festivities begin on November 15 with the 8th annual Literacy & Arts Festival, presented by the SCV Education Foundation, in partnership with the City of Santa Clarita and the Santa Clarita Public Library. The family-friendly event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Old Town Newhall Library, at 24500 Main Street, and will feature opportunities to explore, see, create and hear various forms of reading and the arts.

The Literacy & Arts Festival will include storytellers, authors, performers, imaginative art activities, music and instruments.
