Santa’s Summer Surprise in Bakersfield | Bakersfield News

Santa’s skipping the North Pole for Bakersfield this July—yes, you heard that right. The Open Door Network is bringing “Christmas in July” to local libraries, turning holiday cheer into a year-round community resource fair. It’s their first-ever event, designed to connect families with vital support services like toy drives and holiday giveaways—no sleigh bells needed. Whether you’re looking for help or just want to meet your neighbors, this is your chance to build bridges and stay connected. Catch Santa (and helpful folks) at the Beale Memorial Library on July 23rd at noon, or the Southwest Library on July 24th at 3:30 PM—both free and open to all.
