Rancho Cordova Holiday Tree Lighting & Santa's Village

About this adventure

Village Green Park in Rancho Cordova welcomes families for its annual community holiday celebration. Anchored by the illumination of the city's festive Christmas tree, the festival features a free real-snow sledding hill for children, horse-drawn hayrides around the park, an interactive kids' holiday craft village, and festive musical performances by local school bands and choirs. Children can visit Santa and Mrs. Claus for complimentary photos while families enjoy free hot apple cider and holiday cookies.
