In the heart of the original Anaheim Colony, the Center Street Promenade is aptly named, as it is indeed the center of activity for this community. Besides being the home of the must-see Anaheim Farmer's Market and Craft Fair, the Promenade is also the site of numerous special events throughout the year. The International Taste of Anaheim is an annual exposition where restaurants along the Promenade offer samples of their fare to strolling visitors, while the Fall Festival is a cornucopia of parades, entertainment, amusements, and rides. In
December, guests revel at the Nutcracker Holiday, where they can meet Santa Claus, listen to carolers and street musicians, and watch the lighting of the Christmas tree. Visitors should check the official website for scheduled events and times.
