LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA. (December 20, 2015). Allen’s Flower Market, a Long Beach, California-based, family-owned and operated flower shop, announced that it has information on local Long Beach holiday events plus reminds customers that they still have time to pick up Christmas décor and holiday gifts from its Long Beach flower shop and website.

In commenting on the local family traditions, Harry Goldman, Owner of Allen’s Flower Market, said, “We love all the local Long Beach events that happen over the holidays because it offers so much for families to enjoy together. Beyond just shopping and gifts, these events offer family fun and help to create lasting memories for everyone who joins in. All of us participate in these events each year and we can’t wait to do it again this year.”

Local Long Beach events include The Queen Mary Chill, which runs from November 20th through January 10th. Each year, a giant dome that once held the Spruce Goose is made into The Ice Kingdom full of ice sculptures made from two million pounds of ice. Also on hand are tubing, ice skating, carolers, live music and an appearance by Santa Claus. After Christmas, there are New Year’s Eve events, including a party on board the Queen Mary and fireworks cruise. 

Goldman added, “Of course, there’s still time to come in and visit our showroom, which is brimming with beautiful gift ideas for those still checking off their Christmas list.  If you prefer, you can visit our website and order incredible gifts and décor for the home, including poinsettia plants, wreaths, garlands, swags, miniature Christmas trees, centerpieces, bouquets, greeting cards, gift baskets, chocolates, fresh baked goods and more.”

The Long Beach florist is accepting orders and doing local and national deliveries through Christmas Eve, but they will be closed on Christmas Day. They will re-open on Saturday, December 26th.
