Night of Lights


  • Mac Dutra Park Plaza 500 Main St Half Moon Bay, CA, 94019 United States (map)

This year, shopping small is the best thing you can do for your community! So instead of one night, we've gone back to our roots and there will be 4 Nights of Lights! Main Street shops will be open late and there will be beautiful lights adorning the trees and shop windows to light your way to a happy holiday!

  • Friday, November 25 : Christmas Tree Lighting and Decorating - We’re lighting up the big tree in Mac Dutra Park! Kids are invited to bring handmade ornaments to hang on the tree.

  • Friday, December 2 : Annual Lighted Parade and Santa Claus - The Parade is back! The Annual Lighted Parade with Santa Claus starts around 6:15 — come early to stake out your spot! Santa will be in Mac Dutra Park after the parade. The Kid’s Zone will take place next to the park on Kelly with fun activities for kids of all ages.
