Festival of Lights Begins December 2nd at the Lassen County Fairgrounds

festivallightsAn amazing wonderland magically appears at the Lassen County Fairgrounds each year during the holidays, and this year the displays are expected to be bigger, brighter and more awe-inspiring than ever before.

In what has become an annual tradition for Susanville residents the Lassen County Fair is hosting its ‘Holiday Festival of Lights’ exhibition at the fairgrounds every weekend during the month of December beginning with a special ‘walk-through’ evening on December 2nd.

The displays are built by different local groups, organizations and individuals for the public to drive through and ‘oooooh and ahhhhhhh’ at during the season.

“This year’s Festival of Lights is going to be the best one yet!” says Fair Staffer Kaely Cuthill. “We are hoping that all of our sponsors, local businesses, organizations, clubs and even the local Scrooges participate.”

“Help spread the word that we want to light up the Fairgrounds with Holiday cheer!”

Come visit the Holiday Festival of Lights from 5:00 – 9:00p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 5:00-8:00p.m. on Sundays during the month of December. This year, for the first time, the festival will be open each night leading up to Christmas weekend with special showings. From Monday, December 19th until December 25th the gates will be open at the fairgrounds each night from 5:00 to 9:00.

Main Street Christmas Trees

This holiday season you can help decorate Susanville by being a part of the Lassen County Fair’s annual Christmas Tree Display at the east of end of town. Businesses, organizations and families are all invited to set up a live tree in the display during the month of December. Space is limited however, with only nine spots available. If you would like to be part of the display make sure to call the fair office as soon as possible at 251-8900. You can click here to download the Christmas Tree Display application.

How it works

Participants will need to provide their own 6 to 7 foot live tree that will be placed in the display around the digital marquee on Main Street.

The fair will be providing electricity but decorators will have to provide all tree lights and decorations for their tree.  The trees should be set up and decorated by Thursday December 1st and each group is responsible for taking down their lights and decorations by the end of December.

If you would like to set up a tree just call the fair office at 251-8900.
