Capitola Holiday Extravaganza: Palm Tree Lighting, Caroling and More!
December 5 @ 11:00 am - 8:00 pm
Our biggest holiday celebration of the year fills the Village with cookies, cocoa, carols, and a whole lot of twinkle. Here’s how the day unfolds:
- 11:00 am–4:00 pm: Cookie Walk at most Village shops
- All day: Santa Walkabout
- 4:00–7:00 pm: Trike-a-Pose Mobile Photo Booth (Esplanade Park)
- 5:00 pm: Hot chocolate from Shadowbrook & cookies from Gayle’s (Esplanade Park)
- 5:30 pm: Palm Tree Lighting (Esplanade Park) and Community Caroling (Esplanade Stroll)
- 6:00 pm: VW Christmas Parade through the Village
- All day until 8:00 pm: Shops open late for holiday shopping!
Stroll from shop to shop collecting treats, catch Santa wandering the Village, then grab a cocoa and find your spot for the palm tree lighting and parade. It’s the perfect excuse to cross a few names off your gift list, too.
