❤️ A CELEBRATION OF TORRANCE

Santa Takes Flight is more than a holiday event. It's a celebration of the businesses, schools, organizations, first responders and families who make Torrance such a special place to call home.

Our goal is to create the feeling of a true neighborhood Christmas market—a place where families can stroll beneath the Christmas lights, enjoy great food, shop for special gifts, listen to local performers and celebrate the start of the Christmas season together.
