26th Annual Festival of Lights in Yountville, Napa Valley

While Yountville cannot promise a White Christmas, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the people and businesses of Yountville come together to transform their town into a magical winter wonderland nonetheless, with thousands of tiny (energy efficient) twinkling lights.

Celebrating its twenty-sixth year, Yountville’s Festival of Lights entices friends, families, neighbors and visitors to play hooky from the shopping mall and gather in the heart of one of the world’s most popular destinations for a feel-good family street party to kick off the holiday season.
