Get ready to be dazzled as Pinecrest Gardens transforms into a breathtaking winter wonderland this holiday season. From December 6, 2024, to January 4, 2025, on select Wednesday through Sunday nights, the gardens will come alive with thousands of twinkling lights and festive holiday activities that promise to enchant visitors of all ages.
Families can immerse themselves in the holiday spirit with delightful experiences ranging from pajama parties beneath the stars to vibrant live performances and a seasonal gift bazaar. Children will be captivated by the Children’s Corner, where they can marvel at a radiant tree pulsating with holiday melodies, snap photos with Santa, join in face painting, and listen to engaging storytellers. Adults won’t be left out — they can indulge in bespoke cocktails or show off their best Ugly Sweater.
The culinary experience is just as enticing, featuring an array of delectable treats available throughout the event. Special highlights include a weekend celebration from December 20-22, honoring Dr. Seuss, complete with appearances by The Grinch.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, Pinecrest Gardens will host live holiday concerts in the iconic Banyan Bowl, showcasing local talents such as Dance Empire and Alhambra Orchestra. See the performance schedule here.
