La Posada
This Mexican holiday tradition returns to Desert Botanical Garden for an evening of song, tasty treats, and shopping — all surrounded by the garden’s breathtaking landscape and flora. Las Posadas, which take place in the nine days leading up to Christmas, are religious celebrations that reenact Mary and Joseph’s quest for shelter. During this special event, food and drink stations will be set up throughout the garden, and there will be piñatas for children to break. Entrance is by timed tickets. Members: $34.95/adults, $14.95/youth; General admission: $39.95/$16.95. Purchase tickets at www.dbg.org
