Holiday at the Rancho coming Dec. 6

Blending holiday spirit with a bit of western history, the City of Carlsbad will celebrate the season at its Holiday at the Rancho event Saturday, Dec. 6, from 5 to 8 p.m., at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park.

The event will feature a snow hill for sledding and snowballs, a cowboy-hat-wearing Santa and a holiday movie under the stars, among other treats, at the park located at 6200 Flying L.C. Lane.

Presale tickets are available at $6 per person from now until Dec. 5, and tickets at the door are $8. Children under 3 are free.

Admission includes crafts, face painting, holiday shopping, cookie decorating, 14-foot tree-lighting, an outdoor movie and entertainment. Sleds and the snow hill are also included in the price of admission.

Children can also sit on the lap of the western-styled Santa, a unique moment that parents can capture with their own cameras or pay $3 for a souvenir photo. Pony rides will be available and are an additional $6.

Rachael Shay, special events supervisor for the City of Carlsbad, said the Holiday at the Rancho is a community holiday celebration that highlights the City of Carlsbad and Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park’s rich history.

Attendees can get a taste of this history by taking part in a 30-minute guided tour of the Hacienda. Tours will take place at 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.

Once a working ranchero, the park was owned by actor, philanthropist, poet, preservationist and rancher Leo Carrillo. “We are so lucky to have this unique property in Carlsbad,” Shay said. “It lends itself to a nostalgic holiday.”

Parking is available at Leo Carrillo Elementary School or on surface streets. Parking will be limited at the Carrillo Ranch, and half of the lower lot will be used for disabled parking.
