Fantasy of Lights Walk-Thru 2021

First presented in 1999, Fantasy of Lights is now in its 23rd year and has become a cherished holiday tradition. It is bigger, better and brighter than ever before thanks to the transition to environmentally friendly LED displays.

Experience Fantasy of Lights via Walk-thru magic: you and yours can stroll through the park while enjoying the sights and sounds of the holidays, with Santa Claus, food trucks, hot cocoa, special performances by the Los Gatos Ballet, photo opportunities, music, and so much more!

The Walk-thru Nights run December 4 & 5, 4:00pm - 9:00pm. Each person attending the event needs a ticket (even those little ones 3 and under - their tickets are free). Please purchase your tickets in advance, as entry is guaranteed only with a pre-paid ticket.

The event takes place at Vasona Lake County Park, 333 Blossom Hill Road, Los Gatos. Parking is located at Netflix, 121 Albright Way, Los Gatos, 95032. Free shuttles will bring you to the event entrance for a magical experience!
