Chula Vista Christmas Circle Skate Party

Come skate around the famous Christmas Circle in Chula Vista.

Bring a skateboard, roller skates or just some good walking shoes and come join in the fun! The Chula Vista Christmas Circle lightup night is an annual tradition that is in its 62nd year and going strong.

For the past few years some of us more adventurous types have been skating the circle to check out the lights and the numerous parties that are going on all the way around the Whitney/Mankato Street loop. It's a really fun place to skate with moderate incline on the Mankato side that will test your mettle just a little bit.

And when you're done (or if you don't want to skate it), be sure to put on some warm clothes and take a leisurely stroll so that you can really soak in all of the wonderful decorations, some of which go back to the very beginning of this annual holiday event.

Here's a video that shows off the circle in all its glory:

The skate party meets up at the Bodie house at 178 Whitney Street starting at sundown. We will have food and drink, and you're welcome to bring something to share as well. Parking is not allowed on the circle and it gets quite packed in the surrounding neighborhood, so plan accordingly.

Hope to see you there!
