Calico Holiday Fest

November 29, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 7:00 pm
Large Christmas ornaments with garland and Christmas trees on the right and left with Santa Claus in the middle. An ugly sweater and Santa's mailbox with poinsettias and wrapped Christmas gifts near the left tree.

On Saturday, November 29, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Calico Ghost Town will transform into a holiday festival with a photo op with Santa, Christmas caroling and the annual tree lighting that is sure to amuse the merriest of little spirits in this picturesque Old West mining town.

Festivalgoers can sing along or simply listen to your favorite holiday melodies. There will be a reading of the favorite “T’was the Night Before Christmas”, contests for the whole family, crafts for kids, gunfights performed by our very own Calico Mountain Volunteers.

Avoid the lines and parking nightmares at shopping malls and browse our specialty arts & craft shops for that hard-to-buy-for relative, neighbor or friend. Some of our shops will be offering special discounts for holiday shopping.

Santa arrives at 11 a.m. with a cheery “Ho! Ho! Ho!” for photos with the children and will light the Calico Christmas tree at 6:30 p.m. After the tree lighting, Lil’s Saloon will be providing complimentary cookies and hot chocolate.

There will be plenty of festive foods available for purchase through our vendors, Lil’s Saloon, Silver Rush Burger and Calico House Restaurant.

Calico will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is $10 per adult, $5 children ages 4-11, and 3 years, and under are free.

Calico Ghost Town offers full and partial camping at the park. Reservations may be booked by calling 1-877-387-2757 or emailing parks@parks.sbcounty.gov. Cabins, bunkhouses and RV trailer rentals are also available.

Calico Ghost Town is located off I-15 at Ghost Town Road in Yermo, just 10 miles north of Barstow off Interstate 15.
