Center Street Promenade

Center Street Promenade in downtown Anaheim is prominent for attracting hoards of tourists and locals year after year with the Anaheim Nutcracker Holiday Festival, but it is also a wonderful place to be on a lazy afternoon. The area features a pedestrian-only shopping district running for several blocks along West Center Street and is home to a slew of holiday festivities and events. During Christmas, expect a visit from Santa Claus, live musicians, and carolers. Stop by any time during the rest of the year to sample food from a lovely variety of local eateries lining the promenade or to pick up gifts in the many shops and boutiques in the area.
