Inglewood: Historic Christmas Village
 

Welcome to a Historic Christmas Village experience nestled within a big city, that is quaint, cozy, and charming. Inglewood is truly a magical place at Christmas. 

 

Inglewood is a place where traditions are made and memories are cherished, capturing the spirit of a timeless holiday season. With many nooks and crannies to explore, the streets are lined with small, independently owned shops and restaurants adorned with festive garlands and twinkling lights.

We invite you to explore our ‘Christmas Village’ with family and friends, a place where traditions make memories.
