Celebrating the True Meaning of Christmas

Join us nightly as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with music, lights and joy.

Known as the world's largest Christmas Choral Festival, more than 150 choirs will perform over the course of 31 nights in the Chapel of Mary, known for its cathedral-like acoustics. 

There are nightly puppet shows and caroling in the pavilion tent, and don't forget the millions of lights, including our walk-thru Christmas tree!

Get your tickets now and consider taking advantage of our value nights Monday through Thursday of next week. There will be limited admission on busy nights, so make sure to get your tickets early.

Please bring a non-perishable food item for SnowCap.

Thank You to Our Festival Sponsors
