Experience The Magic Of Utah's Candlelight Christmas This December

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in Utah, and we couldn’t be more excited for all things festive. If you’re lacking in holiday spirit, we know just the place to fuel up on Christmas cheer. Held each December at This Is The Place Heritage Park, Candlelight Christmas takes you on a journey to a time when Christmas was simpler. So, ditch the crazy long lines at the mall and rediscover the true reason for the season at this magical Christmas village.

This historic village is full of pioneer-era buildings, homes, and shops, as well as — come December 7, 2018 — plenty of holiday magic.

The entire village is decorated like a classic Christmas card, and you’ll feel as though you’ve taken a step back in time as soon as you arrive.

Enjoy the glitter of Christmas lights, the glow of warm fires and plenty of candles, and the smells of Christmas at this old-fashioned holiday destination.

Hop aboard the train for a tour of the village or enjoy a brisk stroll on a self-guided walking tour.

Marvel at the historic buildings and landscape blanketed in snow as you warm your hands at one of the outdoor fires.

Visit with Father Christmas, watch the live Nativity scene, and enjoy classic Christmas songs sung by carolers.

Do some Christmas shopping at the gift shop, found in the Visitors Center, or ZCMI Mercantile. You’ll find an impressive selection unique gifts for everyone on your list!

You can even join in on the fun of making crafts and homemade gifts in one of the beautifully-decorated historic homes or pioneer cabins.

Don't forget to take an enchanted ride in a wagon decked out with glittering lights!

And that's not all: you can enjoy a meal at the Huntsman Hotel, enjoy live music, play family-friendly games, and more!

Nowhere else in America can you experience an authentic Christmas of more than century ago — quiet, simple, and supremely cozy. If you've never visited, now's the time to start a new holiday tradition the entire family will enjoy for years to come!

Experience the magic for yourself December 7 through 22 on Monday through Saturday evenings from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Admission is only $5 per person. Learn more and purchase your tickets on their website. This Is The Place Heritage Park is located at 2601 Sunnyside Ave. S, Salt Lake City, UT 84108.
