Elks Recreation: Christmas In The Country

Christmas in the Country will return on Friday, December 9th, 2022 and run every Friday and Saturday from 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm through Saturday, December 24th, 2022 at the Elks Event Center located at 4040 S Highway 101 in Santa Maria.

Visitors embark on a magical holiday light drive-through experience at the Elks Event Center with displays presented by local businesses and families. Come and enjoy festive scenes and dancing lights all from the comfort of your own vehicle.

There are two ways to enjoy Christmas in the Country. One is by the traditional “Single Car Entry” where you pay per car load of people. Or you can take a wagon ride through the winter wonderland as part of our “VIP Christmas Experience” which is a cost per person. This experience has you riding in an open aired wagon, pulled by a tractor, through the entire Christmas in the Country display, while enjoying holiday goodies and hot chocolate.
