The Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Foundation and the Agricultural History Project will again present HOLIDAY LIGHTS 2024 at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds. Starting November 29, 2024 – Holiday Lights will be open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays until Christmas Eve.

HOLIDAY LIGHTS is over a 1/2 mile drive-through experience at the Fairgrounds of spectacular lighted Holiday displays all around you. Giant Christmas trees twinkling with lights – Santa – reindeer – snowmen – lighted tunnels, and many more magical moments. Stay in your warm car and drive through this Holiday Experience.

While this is a Drive-Thru experience, there will be two special nights where you can Walk-Thru and see the lights up close and personal. Friday and Saturday December 6 & 7, you can enjoy both the Lights and great Holiday Shopping at the 47th Annual Holiday Craft and Gift Fair, from Noon to 9:00 pm each day. The Harvest, Crosetti, and Fine Arts Buildings will once again be filled with great handmade crafts and gift ideas for this Holiday Season.

December 5th is Krampus night walk-thru only.  While his story leans on the dark side, Krampus affairs are family-friendly events where you can have some light, scary fun. It’s a way to nudge a bit of almost Halloween-type fun into the traditional Christmas season.  So gather your family and friends, step into your favorite Krampus attire and join others at Krampus Night at Holiday Lights!
