About the Festival
This year’s Festival will look a little different due to the ongoing pandemic. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to produce a safe but fun Festival.
The Grotto’s Christmas Festival of Lights features two million lights and hosts nightly indoor holiday concerts in the Chapel. Continuous entertainment for all ages is offered in The Grotto’s plaza area, including outdoor caroling, puppet shows, and an assortment of musical guests.
The Festival reflects the special season of hope that Christmas offers.
Parking
Parking on site and on adjacent streets is free, but we encourage you to come early if you wish to enjoy a particular concert.
Choir Schedule
We are still in the process of confirming our slate of performances for the 2021 Festival. Due to the pandemic, there may be fewer performers this year. However, we plan to fill the Chapel with music throughout the Festival.
