Carriage Rides
Carriage Rides are on for 2020!
 
Enjoy a holiday tradition in downtown Los Gatos and feel the romance of Christmas past. Ride in an elegant horse-drawn carriage with a friendly driver and horses wearing holiday bells. The evening ride starts in Town Plaza and continues through the Almond Grove district. This 15-20 minute ride will take you by beautifully decorated, historic homes and along downtown's N. Santa Cruz Avenue. The carriage ride booth is located in Town Plaza, at the corner of S. Santa Cruz Avenue and Montebello, across from the Post Office.
Schedule 2020
 
  • Friday, Saturday & Sunday, December 4-6, 5:00-9:00pm
  • Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, December 10-13, 5:00-9:00pm
  • Thursday - Wednesday, December 17-23, 4:30-9:00pm
We will be following all Santa Clara County and State protocols:
  • Carriages will be cleaned between each group of riders
  • Masks must be worn.
  • 6' social distancing must be observed at all times when not in the carriage.
  • No blankets will be provided. Please bring your own and dress warmly.
  • Maximum 6 people in a carriage (even the large carriage)
  • Riders should all be from the same household
Refund Policy:
Due to the popularity of Carriage Rides, this reservation is final. 
  • There are no refunds due to weather or your unavailability due to COVID. If a conflict should arise, your ticket is transferable to another party, or you may try to reschedule. 
  • If the Chamber cancels Carriage Rides due to COVID circumstances, you will receive a full refund.
  • Carriage rides run rain or shine, unless the weather is deemed by the operator to be too inclement for the safety of the horses.
Thank you to Linda L. Lester & Lester Square - our exclusive Carriage Ride sponsor.

Maybe you've noticed these green signs around town? The Chamber and the Town are embarking on a Protect Los Gatos campaign, reminding people to social distance and wear a mask. We've placed signs around town: on A-frames, in store windows and on pop-up patios. Please keep us all safe!

If you'd like a sign, stop by the Chamber office and pick one up.
