The Progress
The City of Mesquite; partnering with the Virgin Valley Artist Association, The Virgin Valley Theatre Group and the Mesquite Women’s History and Culture Center; will be opening up the Jimmie Hughes Campus on Saturday November 19, for the first “Yucca Street Holiday Festival.”
The festival will be open from 10am – 4pm. Already there are 22 non-profits and 22 crafters signed up to participate and offer early Christmas shopping.
There will also be free entertainment by local groups going on at various points around the campus, at the nearby Mesquite Fine Arts Center and continuously in the Community Theatre itself.
Local food trucks will also be on hand including Smoke N’ Grind, Corndog Company. White Boys Tacos and Fired Up Creations.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there for the kids. And there will be a bounce house for childrent o enjoy. And the guys in attendance may want a picture with the glitzy Mesquite Show Girls.
Silver Rider will also have a bus on hand for viewing with the holiday Grinch as its host.
There should be something for everyone at this huge festival. Most units in the campus will be open and have something going on in their space.
Director of Mesquite Athletics and Leisure Services Department, Nick Montoya said, “The City of Mesquite is excited to be a part of this event, where families can have fun and learn more about all the extra-curricular activities for youth, adults and seniors in our city.”
