Experience The Holiday Decorations At Glendale City Hall

It's a good week to visit the amazing, snowy Winter Village displays throughout Glendale City Hall.

As you walk through the grounds of Glendale City Hall you will find yourself whipping out your phone to take pictures. The holiday decorations are that good! These red poinsettia encircled topiaries are so elegant and perfectly manicured. Such taste!

There are lit deer and frosted trees along the paths. So peaceful!

You will then come upon scenes of snowy towns in miniature. Certainly not your "run of the mill" holiday décor. This is special. This is WINTER VILLAGE! Such an inspiring outdoor display.

But wait! There's more! The Winter Village comes alive inside the doors of City Hall as well! Snowy mountains, castles, lit cabins in the woods, and miniature bridges!

You can even fantasize going skiing on this carefully constructed lift!

And who is the man behind this winter village fantasyland? Glendale Parks Services Manager CHRIS PEPLOW. This is his hobby, woodworking and building with reclaimed wood, turning it into something we all can enjoy. This is the perfect time to do so as the village will only stay up through the first week in January. What a gift!

Glendale is indeed the JEWEL CITY! City Hall is located at 613 E. Broadway in the heart of downtown Glendale. Happy New Year!
