Christmas Season in SLO

Posted by San Luis Obispo Mom on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 Under: Holidays

There are many ongoing events around San Luis Obispo County, the 3 most largest light displays are:

Holiday Plaza with Christmas Lights in Mission Plaza has Santa available for pictures until Dec. 24, 2022. However, the lights will be up longer than that (until Jan 2, 2023). It's free to visit here in the day and the evening to just see the Christmas decorations or watch the lights at night. See my most recent downtown SLO date night instagram video reel to get a small glimpse of some of the Christmas lights at Holiday Plaza.
Cambria Christmas Market is the most famous and biggest Christmas lights display in all of San Luis Obispo County and they are open until Dec 23, 2022. See my instagram video reel to see my experience at Cambria Christmas Market. The Christmas Market costs money for entry.
Newest to the light display list is Nature Nights at SLO Botanical Garden. Unlike the Holiday Plaza and Cambria Christmas Market, they are not Christmas themed but it runs until Jan 8, 2023. I've never been to the Nature Nights event at night but I've been to SLO Botanical Gardens in the day. See my instagram video reel to see my experience at SLO Botanical Garden with my kids.

For 2022 family-friendly event list for December is long but many were cancelled due to rain from the couple of weekend of non-stop rain. It's currently not forecasted to rain for the last 2 weeks of December.

See a list of fun family-friendly events in SLO. I've also have some events for 2023 listed on that page too.
