Christmas Festival and Parade of Lights

Expand to see the parent tip

Norco calls itself Horsetown USA, and its all-day Christmas Festival leans into that with pony rides, a petting zoo and a holiday train alongside games, crafts, food and craft vendors and live entertainment.

At 5 pm the Parade of Lights rolls down Sixth Street from Corona Avenue and finishes at the festival grounds. Admission is free, while the activity wristband covers the rides and is required for every rider, including parents who ride along with little ones.

Parent tip: General parking is at Gate A on Crestview Drive. Grab a curb spot on Sixth Street before 4:30 pm for the best view of the lighted parade.

Breakfast with Santa

Expand to see the parent tip

The City of Norco opens its Christmas Festival day with Breakfast with Santa at the Ingalls Event Center, served in four one-hour seatings through the morning.

Each ticket covers breakfast, a holiday craft and a selfie with Santa. Tickets are sold online only and are not available at the door, so this is one to book ahead.

Parent tip: Pick the 7:30 am seating if your kids are early risers. You will be right next door when the festival gates open at 8 am.

Plan your December

When each Norco Christmas event for kids happens

Make December 12 a full Norco day: an early Breakfast with Santa, the festival rides through the afternoon, and a curbside spot for the 5 pm Parade of Lights.

Looking further afield? Our California Christmas events for kids guide lists every confirmed event in the state, and we have city guides for Riverside, Ontario, Chino Hills and Fontana. The national search sorts every event by distance from your town.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
