California’s Largest Drive-Thru Holiday Light Show Coming To Del Mar Fairgrounds

Discover a symphony of sight and sound at ‘Holidays in Your Car‘, Southern California’s largest drive-thru holiday light spectaculars – coming to Del Mar Fairgrounds in December!

The show will feature more than ONE MILLION LED lights, holograms, and projection mapping animated to the tunes of holiday classics – a must-see treat for the entire family!

This magical drive-thru journey showcases amazing holiday-themed light displays that are intricately and painstakingly assembled by Santa’s team of Elves celebrating the most magical time of the year.

With some displays standing at over 40 feet in height Holidays in Your Car also includes spectacular installations of projection mapping, a technique that involves high-end projectors casting computer-generated images onto sets, arches, and surfaces to create memories that will last a lifetime.

Holiday fun and helping local charities, too!

$1 per ticket helps local San Diego charities, Emilio Nares Foundation and Shelter to Soldier.

What better way to get out and experience a magical evening for the holidays?

See you there….and stay healthy, San Diego!
