Information
Santa making pre-Christmas stop in his sleigh Sat, Dec 2, 5:30-8:00pm With the holiday season upon us, you will want to experience the Bankers Hill/Balboa Park area celebration with brightly lit homes and businesses celebrating this festive time of year. The Forward House was built in 1905 for John Forward Sr., Mayor of San Diego. In 1998, John Olbrich purchased and restored this dilapidated mansion and began to decorate for the season, then every year since. Every year since, it comes alive with an extensive lighting display with holiday music. ( Just think 'Griswalds' from the movie ����Christmas Vacation���� with Chevy Chase).
