Holiday at the Rancho in Carlsbad December 7, 2024
The holiday season is well under way in Carlsbad with a number of fun events coming up.
The annual Holiday at the Rancho takes place at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park on December 7th from 5 until 8 pm.
The 2024 Holiday at the Rancho in Carlsbad offers holiday festivities with a bit of western history. Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park is located at 6200 Flying LC Lane off Melrose in the Rancho Carrillo area of Carlsbad. The park is about 1 mile south of Palomar Airport Road, a short distance past Poinsettia Avenue at the next light (west side of Melrose).
You’ll find lots of holiday decorations and beautiful lights, of course. And this popular holiday event offers fun for all: face painting, holiday cookie decorating, holiday-themed crafts, train rides, entertainment, and a “plush” snowball fight. The holiday tree lighting ceremony with Santa takes place on the sand by the pool at 6:00 pm.
Photo opportunities will follow and you can buy souvenir photos. Food and beverages will be available for purchase, too.
Kids young and old will enjoy an outdoor holiday movie on the big screen at 6:15 pm.
You can be sure the Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park will be festively decorated that will put you in the holiday spirit if you aren’t already!
Tickets for Holiday at the Rancho are $10.00 per person; children ages 3 and under are free but must be registered. You can purchase your tickets online until 5 pm on December 7th or at the event until sold out. Please call (442) 339-2519 for more information.
Be aware parking is somewhat limited at The Leo Carrillo Historic Ranch Park itself, and this is a popular event. You can also park on adjacent neighborhood streets by the entrance to the Park, or at Carrillo Elementary School, also adjacent to the Park at 2875 Poinsettia Lane.
Don’t forget Small Business Saturday on November 30th in Carlsbad Village. #ShopSmall for the holidays and support our Carlsbad Village merchants.
Then it’s the Annual Holiday Makers Market also on December 7th from 9 am until 4 pm. Here’s another opportunity for holiday shopping with plentiful arts and crafts from 50 or so juried artisans from around the region.
