LAS POSADAS

Join neighbors and friends for the 64th Annual Las Posadas event in Heritage County Park in Old Town San Diego on Friday, December 9, 2022 at 7:00pm!

Presented by the Old Town San Diego Chamber of Commerce, Old Town Trolley Tours, and the Mormon Battalion Historic Site, Las Posadas (“the inns” or “the lodgings”) is a centuries-old Mexican celebration representing the several nights Mary and Joseph, accompanied by a flock of shepherds and angels, sought shelter at different inns in Bethlehem.
