Temecula's biggest holiday night: Santa's Electric Light Parade rolls through Old Town, Dec 4, 2026
About Santa's Electric Light Parade 2026 (Old Town Temecula)
Friday, December 4, 2026 at 7:00 PM sharp, Temecula's signature holiday tradition lights up Old Town: hundreds of glowing floats, marching bands and Santa himself travel the route from Jefferson Ave & Del Rio Rd south into the heart of Old Town. Thousands line the streets with blankets and chairs, and the whole wine country kicks off its Christmas season that night.
Book a private villa with a pool instead of an Old Town hotel: park once, host a pre-parade wine-country dinner at your house, walk to the route, then come back to your own fire pit while the crowds fight for parking. Best for families and groups who want the parade plus a vineyard weekend.

How we screen every stay
Every home we represent is someone's personal residence, in a real neighborhood, and we've committed to the owner and their neighbors that we'll place it only with guests whose plans fit the home. So, like most professionally managed homes, we confirm a few details with every guest before a reservation is finalized — who is staying, the purpose of the trip, and agreement to the house rules and rental agreement. This is the same for everyone who books with us, and it's meant to protect you too: it keeps the neighborhood quiet and welcoming, keeps the home in the condition you expect, and ensures the property truly matches what you need. Once confirmed with the homeowner, we'll send the final quote for signature within one business day.
