HOLIDAY LIGHTS, the magical nighttime Christmas Light Show returns every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Because many of our guests have a Christmas Eve Tradition of coming to HOLIDAY LIGHTS on December 24th, we will have two Bonus Nights this year – Monday December 23 and Tuesday December 24th.
Volunteers have been working all year to create new lighted characters and all types of fun things to look at as you drive through the three-quarter mile experience. The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Foundation and the Agricultural History Project proudly create this event yearly.
Food Vendors will be available this weekend – see listing below.
Come Join us for what has become the official start of the holiday season here in the Pajaro Valley.
