Holiday Festival

Our Holiday Festival is held the first two weekends in December, Thursday through Sunday each week. Visitors may enjoy the entertainment rain or shine - in our all-weather, heated tent. Nice!

On opening night, the festival comes to life with tree lighting, caroling and a surprise visit from Santa.

There are lots of activities and attractions:
  • Horse-drawn wagon hayrides.
  • Thousand and thousands of Christmas lights.
  • Pictures with Santa.
  • Nativity Scene.
  • Caroling.
  • Local Entertainment: choirs, singers, bands, dancers, cowboy poetry readings, scripture readings, drum lines.
  • Hot cocoa is available for purchase.
The entertainment line-up is different each evening. It works out to be a great variety show each evening.

Regular admission fees apply throughout the holiday event.

A highlight of the festival is the Supper with Santa Saturday night dinner. Both adults and children love this event. A traditional Italian buffet, artfully prepared by Nancy's Italian Texan Grill, will be served. Guests will enjoy holiday music. Arts and crafts are available for the children. Santa makes a surprise appearance and children may visit with Santa in an unhurried setting offering that perfect picture opportunity. Reservations are required.
