The holidays are here! For many people, the holidays bring a mix of excitement, nostalgia and the joy of gathering with friends and family. This time of year naturally sparks thoughts about traditions, those comforting rituals that people look forward to and that often grow and evolve over time. Some may already have cherished traditions they can’t wait to revisit, while others might be hoping to start new ones. 

On this episode Good News Santa Cruz, we explore our Top 5 Holiday Traditions in Santa Cruz! Give it a listen to learn about Santa Cruz Shakespeare’s holiday show, the Felton Holiday Market, a special holiday light show in Watsonville and ways to give back.
