Coastal Christmas

Coastal Christmas is held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds (2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar, CA 92014). Hours of operation are 4 PM to 9 PM. To ensure the best experience for guests, the Holiday Light Trail opens at dusk, around 5:30 PM, each evening.

General Admission includes entry to the festival, access to the Holiday Light Trail, photos with Santa & friends, and live music and entertainment. Skating, Frosty's Fun Zone, and food & drinks are purchased separately.

Glice is a world leader in synthetic ice, trusted by professional hockey players and figure skaters for off-season training. It's as close to real ice as it gets, without the environmental impact of keeping a rink frozen in warm coastal weather.

Wine Walk ticket holders receive a souvenir tasting cup and a map of tasting stations throughout the park. Explore the festivities while you sip 8 different wine samples. Includes access to the Holiday Light Trail.

Frosty's Fun Zone is our play area for kids, with inflatable bouncers, slides, and activities like rock climbing. Purchase individual ride tickets or an unlimited wristband to play. Some specialty rides are not included with the wristband.

Skating can be added to a General Admission ticket or an Igloo / Fire Pit Table reservation. Skate rentals are included in your purchase.
