Castro Merchants will be hosting the first annual Castro Winter Wonderland on Sunday, 19 December from 11 am to 5:30 pm on Noe Street between Market and Beaver. Taking advantage of their Shared Spaces permit, Noe Street will be closed to car traffic as it hosts a holiday extravaganza, including free photos with Santa Claus, drag queen storytelling for the kiddos, a petting zoo, onstage entertainment and an art fair (there will even be a sexy elf contest).
