Get ready to embark on a magical journey as Coastal Christmas returns to the enchanting Del Mar Fairgrounds from Thursday, December 12! This year, families, friends, and couples looking for a festive night out are invited to experience a reimagined seaside celebration that shimmers with Millions of lights, melodies, and holiday joy.
Immerse yourself in the wonder of the expanded Holiday Light Trail, glide on our sparkling Glice® skating rink, and discover treasures at our thriving Holiday Market. Sip and savor your way through the Holiday Wine Walk, capture unforgettable moments with Santa and his merry friends, and let the little ones bask in the joy of Frosty’s Fun Zone, all just moments away from the beautiful Pacific Ocean! Delightful seasonal food and beverages will be available throughout the venue to keep your spirits bright. Tickets are on sale now at coastalchristmasdelmar.com, starting at $26.98 for adults and $20.61 for kids on select nights.
Building on the magic of last year, CBF Productions is thrilled to unveil a spectacularly revamped layout that will take you on a whimsical journey from entry to exit, with even more dazzling lights illuminating your path. As dusk falls, the trail transforms into a breathtaking spectacle, ensuring every moment sparkles with enchantment and joy.
“Coastal Christmas has blossomed into a beloved tradition for the Del Mar and San Diego community, and we are incredibly excited to bring it back, bigger and brighter than ever,” said Vincenzo Giammanco, Founder and CEO of CBF Productions.
Returning by popular demand, the Holiday Wine Walk has been expanded to be a nightly delight for the 21+ crowd! Stroll through the twinkling lights with a souvenir tasting cup, sampling exquisite pours at various stops throughout the venue.
Families will find endless opportunities for fun and togetherness. Santa and his merry friends will arrive nightly at 5:00 p.m. (on December 26, Santa returns to the North Pole, but his cheerful helpers will still be on hand), offering complimentary smartphone photo opportunities for families and friends. The little ones will love bouncing and playing in Frosty’s Fun Zone, while teens and adults can glide on the Glice® rink and indulge in seasonal snacks and sips before exploring the wonder of the light trail and market. For those seeking a cozy and private experience, reserve your own Igloo or Fire Pit Table, complete with personal drink service.
