    "Ho ho the mistletoe" ... there are tons of nightime holiday events and tree lightings but for those looking for a jolly good time when there is actual light, there's a new entry to the Bay's holiday daytime festival calendar.

    As we move into “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, Miramar Events and Longboard Margarita Bar are teaming up with plans to bring an exciting new festival to the beautiful beach city of Pacifica, adding some sparkle, sizzle and winter wonder to the Bay Area’s holiday scene.
