Liberty Station Has Gift Wrapped An Entire Building For This Month’s Friday Night Liberty Holiday Extravaganza

Friday Night Liberty – held the first Friday of each month at Liberty Station – is San Diego’s biggest art walk. And for their special ‘Holiday Extravaganza’ version of Friday Night Liberty held this Friday December 1st, they’ve gift wrapped an entire building to help bring the event to life!

Check it out!

The former Naval Training Center Pump House has been transformed into a giant holiday gift including 4,300 lights and animated snowflakes that you absolutely need to see to believe!
