Taking this little guy to see as many Christmas lights as possible this season. There's really nothing better than sharing the Christmas magic with him (he gets the concept of Christmas for the first time this year).

If you're looking for a festive holiday experience in the South Bay that goes beyond the usual neighborhood displays, San Jose's Holiday Lights Festival — by DOCA Festival — is one of the most magical stops this season!

Thank you San Jose Holiday Lights! A little holiday wonderland right here in the Bay Area. So many twinkly moments, glowing tunnels, and “wowww” lights at every turn.

— S. Olcer

This one felt extra special! Seeing San Jose kids' artwork transformed into glowing lanterns, all the little cultural details, and so many magical photo ops made it feel really rooted in the community.

— J. Isa

Thanks for offering that flexibility! Shows that you really care about your community.

One of the more family friendly and chill holiday experiences in San Jose. The light structures and themed zones were very nice to see, and the vendors (hot chocolate, cupcakes, fries, hot dogs, and popcorn) all added to the festive vibe. Would definitely recommend for a nice evening stroll with holiday lights!!

I absolutely love this place! Everyone is so nice and welcoming, and the environment is beautiful. It’s a perfect spot to take pictures. The staff is amazing, and the hot chocolate and cotton candy are a must-try. Come check it out—you’ll love it!

We’re at the start of San Jose’s brightest season, and it’s actually brighter this year than ever before. That’s thanks to the new San Jose Holiday Lights, a new event that’s lighting up downtown’s Discovery Meadow Park.

Larger than life characters stand tall in Discovery Meadow in downtown, creating a different holiday experience for families in San Jose.

And I’ll tell you what — it’s really not your normal holiday lights experience. You’ve got Santa, the elves… but that, my friends, is just where it starts.
