Rancho Cordova Holiday Lights Drive-Through

Create a new holiday memory and celebrate the joy of the season during the inaugural Rancho Cordova Holiday Lights Drive-Through! Enjoyed from the safety of your vehicle, your family will be treated to a dazzling display of more than 200 lighted silhouettes in nearly three dozen special vignettes – all carefully designed to bring a smile to the face of even the crankiest Grinch. There is a sparkling surprise around every corner as we celebrate the holiday season in every way imaginable. Tune in to our very own frequency on your car radio and turn up the volume to make this holiday ride more fun than a one-horse open sleigh! Order a souvenir light-up wand of your own and don’t forget the holiday kettle corn to complete this magical, safe and totally mesmerizing holiday lights experience.

This experience is sure to brighten the holidays for you and yours!
