The third annual SYV Holiday Lights Festival, hosted by the Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden, will take place over the course of 3 weekends in December! Dates this year are December 6th - 7th; 13th - 15th and 20th - 22nd.
Guests can purchase tickets on select dates and times between 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. (the last showing at 8 p.m.).
Guests can enter when the gates open at 5 p.m. regardless of when your scheduled Lights Festival ticket is valid for, but you can't enter the Enchanted Garden until your time slot is called. You are welcome to visit Santa, our Market Place, play in the falling snow and more! There are also small mechanical rides for children, including the mini Polar Express (tickets for rides are purchased separately).
This will be a one-of-a-kind lighted display, an immersive experience in the Garden at night to get everyone into the Holiday Spirit! The Santa Ynez Botanic Garden is located at the West end of River View Park.
This all-ages event will not only allow guests to stroll the Santa Ynez Valley Botanic Garden through a maze of lights, it will also feature pictures with Santa, Live Reindeer (on select days), Falling Snow, Christmas Carolers (on select days), Merchant and Food Vendors, and Beer and Wine for adults.
This has become the NEW Holiday Family Tradition here in the Santa Ynez Valley!
