Looking for a magical way to embrace the holiday spirit without even leaving your car? The“Winter Wonderland of Lights”in Woodland is making that dream a reality with its inaugural drive-thru light experience at the Yolo County Fairgrounds. Spanning 2.3 miles, this dazzling display allows families to enjoy twinkling lights, festive scenes, and unique holiday sculptures—all from the comfort of their vehicles.
Running through Sunday, the tickets cost $20 per vehicle, and every dollar supports local community groups. How’s that for a win-win? It’s the perfect combination of family fun and charitable giving. Plus, Yolo County Fairgrounds CEO Sarah Pelle says they’ve been adding new attractions regularly, so there’s always something fresh to see.
And if that’s not enough, the holiday cheer gets even better. Organizers encourage visitors to bring along a non-perishable canned item to donate to the Woodland Food Closet. So, while you’re basking in the glow of those holiday lights, you’re also shedding a little light on someone else’s situation. It’s like spreading joy while we drive—now that’s a holiday tradition worth celebrating!
