## About

The Upperco Volunteer Fire Company lights up its grounds in rural northern Baltimore County for the eighth season of Yuletide Village, a drive-thru holiday light trail paired with a model train garden. The fire company promises a new layout for 2026. Santa is on site every Friday and Saturday evening until Christmas, which makes those nights the ones to pick if a visit with him is the goal. The village is open only on weekend evenings (Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) from Black Friday into the first weekend of January, so plan around those nights rather than weekdays. Tickets are sold online through the fire company's TicketSpice page, and there is a ticket option that bundles in a donation. Everything raised supports the all-volunteer fire and EMS company, which also collects donated holiday decorations and lights for the display each year.
