Grand Opening of The Veranda

The beautiful new shopping center, The Veranda, had its grand opening celebration last night and it was a blast!





There were snacks from Whole Foods 365 which is the only one of its kind in Northern CA.

The lovely ladies from Lunchbox Wax were there too.

The Veranda had a balloon artist, face painting, games, food and not to mention music along with the beautiful new fountain.





At the ribbon cutting ceremony the speakers were the Mayor, the manager of Whole Foods 365, the owner of the new theater and more.








After the ribbon was cut there were surprise fireworks!



Next we headed over to the VIP party and tour for the new Veranda Lux Cinema.


There were classic Christmas Carol singers at the entrance which really set the mood.

The entrance was just stunning.

The theater has a bar and lounge.



With plenty of room to relax.


The theater we got to tour was just awesome.


There is so much leg room and space you have no problem getting comfortable.

The chairs are so cozy you could almost fall asleep.

But there is no chance of sleep with the HUGE screen and one of a kind sound system!



Seeing movies in this theater is definitely going to be a luxurious experience.

Outside the grand opening party was still going with the DJ playing popular songs and Christmas music while the fountain danced in the background.





The cast of Frozen joined in the fun.



The ice skating rink was a flurry of fun with kids and adults whisking around in the cold night.






And Mrs. Clause handed out treats to the kids.



Also by the theater there is a brand new play place, which was full of excited little ones.



The evening was nothing short of magical. We can't wait to see the rest of The Veranda's shops open soon and we will definitely be seeing a movie in the Veranda Luxe Cinema which is now open and showing Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

A special thank you to Centercal Properties LLC and the Veranda Luxe Cinema IMAX for inviting me to photograph this special event.
