Capistrano’s Beautiful Mission in Lights: San Juan Capistrano Mission

December 7- 29 (select days)

Celebrate the holidays at Orange County’s only mission, at Mission San Juan Capistrano. Visit the Mission on select days from December 7 through December 29, for daytime admission to the Mission, and an evening of holiday programming and enchantment. Capistrano Lights returns this December with a tree lighting, visits with Santa, Dickens-era carolers, full-scale nativity, light features including a new lighted halo grove, new butterfly orchard, dancing swallows and more! Capistrano Lights tickets include same day admission to the Mission.

The tradition also brings back Community Christmas Trees, Family Wreaths, and a harpist in the Serra Chapel. The Capistrano Lights audio tour will also be available throughout the entire month of December so guests can enjoy hearing the Gospel and the Night Before Christmas reading while learning more about Capistrano Lights evening offerings.
