What’s Included with Your Ticket at Old West Christmas Light Fest
Tickets for Old West Christmas Light Fest 2026 are officially on sale, and one of the questions we hear most is, “What does my ticket actually include?” The short answer: a lot more than lights. We built this festival so families can arrive, explore and make memories all evening without constantly reaching for their wallets.
More Than a Walk Through the Lights
Your admission opens the gates to a 6-acre Old West town glowing with millions of Christmas lights. Wander the streets at your own pace, walk through the glowing light tunnels and play in the falling snow. Holiday music plays throughout the whole town, and with more than 40 decorated storefronts, every corner is a photo op.

- Letters to Santa – write yours and drop it in Santa’s mailbox
- Live music on the Silver Spur Saloon stage every night

A Few Extras, If You Want Them
Some activities cost a little extra, and they are completely optional: Laser Tag in the Lights, Mechanical Bull rides and the winner-every-time porch games at the Trading Post. Food trucks line the Green Lawn, and our four saloons serve hot cocoa, s’mores, soda, water, beer, wine and more. Cash and cards are accepted throughout the event.
An All-in-One Christmas Experience
Old West Christmas Light Fest is designed to be the whole evening, not just a stop. Arrive when the gates open at 5:00 PM, catch the music and the trick roper early, visit Santa, and stay for the snow after dark. General Admission (ages 6 and up) is $25, Military and First Responders are $20, and kids 5 and under are free (online prices are plus fees). Want to come back again and again? The NEW 2026 Season Pass is $37.50 and good for every night of the season, so it pays for itself in just two visits. Pick your night early, because popular dates go fast!
We are open 5:00–10:00 PM on 15 nights: November 27, 28 and 29; December 4, 5 and 6; December 11, 12 and 13; and every night from December 18 through December 23, 2026.
