Bring the entire family to the “Mayor’s Tree Lighting Ceremony” and “North Pole Village” presented by Agua Caliente Casinos in Downtown Cathedral City on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, from 5 pm to 7 pm to celebrate the “most wonderful time of the year!” The annual event includes a lit Hollywood-style movie set themed as Main Street at Santa’s North Pole.

Free admission and free parking.
North Pole Village
Thanks to the Cathedral City Public Arts Commission and the amazing work by the theatrical stage artists from the Coachella Valley Repertory Theatre and local artists, the “North Pole Village” comes to life in front of City Hall. This Hollywood-style movie set depicts “main street” at Santa’s North Pole – all lit with holiday lights. It is the ultimate backdrop for family holiday pictures and selfies. The “North Pole Village” features 18 storefronts painted as if they came right out of a children’s book. Best of all, the “North Pole Village” will remain as a static display with holiday music playing in the evenings all the way through the beginning of the New Year and ending on January 9, 2022.
Mayor’s Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony
Shortly after Santa’s arrival at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, December 8, 2021, Mayor Raymond Gregory will preside over the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony. The entire crowd will count down from 10 for the splendor of the season as the 30’ holiday tree in front of city hall will shine as a beacon of hope. The holiday tree will remain up and lit through the beginning of the New Year. Shortly after the Tree Lighting, the award-winning Cathedral City High School Choir will perform a limited holiday concert for your enjoyment and Cathedral City’s own Avenida Band will play for the remainder of the event.
The Mary Pickford Theatre is also joining in on the spirit of the season. You can go to the Mary Pickford Box Office and receive a free pass for the classic holiday movie, “A Christmas Story” (1983) that will play at 7:00 pm inside the Mary Pickford Theatre adjacent to the North Pole Village event.

COVID-19 Rental Relief “Application Assistance Pop-Up” Event in Cathedral City
2021-04-10 09:00 - 15:30 | Cathedral City Community Amphitheater, 68526 Avenida Lalo Guerrero, Cathedral City, CA, 92234, United States
En Español: https://www.unitedlift.org/esp

The economic fallout brought on by COVID-19 continues to negatively impact communities through Riverside County. In response, United Lift––a joint effort by Lift to Rise, Inland SoCal United Way, and the County of Riverside––announced that new rental assistance resources will soon become available to keep Riverside County families housed.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors in February voted to approve $57,267,219 in emergency rental assistance program funding from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Combined with previous funding rounds from the CARES Act, Community Development Block Grant funds and other sources, United Lift totals more than $90 million.

The program is one of the largest per capita allocations of direct rental assistance in the country and one of a handful to operate on a countywide basis. With nearly 2.5 million residents, Riverside County is the 10th-largest county in the United States.

Applications for the next round of United Lift rental assistance are available now and will continue until funds are depleted, or until December 31, 2021, whichever happens first.

This year, the program will provide one-time rental assistance support to cover up to 12 months of unpaid rent during the period between March 13, 2020 until the time of application, plus an additional three months of future rent. Eligibility is limited to renters in Riverside County with a current lease agreement who are earning 80 percent or below of the area’s median income and can document a loss of income due to COVID-19 economic impacts that leave them unable to make their rent. Assistance is provided without regard to immigration status.

Priority will be given to households with incomes less than 50 percent of the area median income, as well as households with one or more adults that have not been employed during the 90 days prior to submitting their application. Landlords with tenants with unpaid debt balances are encouraged to notify their tenants about this program.

Join Councilmember Nancy Ross at a mobile “Application Assistance Pop-Up” event that will occur on Saturday, April 10, 2021 from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm at the new Cathedral City Community Amphitheater located at 68526 Avenida Lalo Guerrero in Cathedral City. This is a free event with free parking. No appointment needed. Representatives will explain the application process and help you with determining your eligibility and filling out the application.
