As the holiday season swings into full gear, Santa Clarita Transit is gearing up to provide community members with a chance to fully immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere. An annual tradition, the Holiday Light Tour invites families and friends to board the Santa Clarita Transit Trolley for a 45-minute excursion through the city's most dazzling holiday light displays. According to a post on the city's official website, the tours are set to run from December 13 to December 15, starting at 6:00 p.m. with the final tour departing at 9 p.m. each night from the McBean Regional Transit Center.
Tickets, as detailed on santaclarita.gov, are conveniently priced at $3.00 per person, but can also be secured for free if attendees choose to donate essential toiletries, such as toothbrushes or baby wipes, which will benefit the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry. This initiative not only promises to spread holiday cheer but also aims to significantly support local families in need during the season of giving.
The tour provides more than just a feast for the eyes. Revelers can satisfy hunger with an array of food trucks expected to serve hot beverages and treats. Additionally, various photo opportunities will be available at selfie stations, all designed to help visitors capture and share their holiday festivities on social media platforms.
In a move to add even more excitement to the holiday tour experience, the City of Santa Clarita announced a Golden Ticket Giveaway. One lucky participant stands to win a $365 TAP Card, gaining them 365 days of free local travel on the Santa Clarita Transit system. Participants can enter the raffle by visiting the Santa Clarita Information Booth during tour hours and securing one of the 500 raffle tickets provided nightly. "The winner will be drawn at random at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 15," the city's website states, promising to notify the victor using the contact details supplied on the winning ticket.
Those interested in the festivities or the Golden Ticket Giveaway can find out more by visiting the Santa Clarita Transit's website for comprehensive details.
