Edaville brings back its long-running holiday tradition with a reimagined Festival of Lights for 2025. After a major reboot under new ownership, the experience now leans fully into its heritage railway roots and holiday-village atmosphere. The historic steam train ride through acres of illuminated displays is still the heart of the visit, but the grounds now offer expanded gathering spaces, new themed villages, ice skating under the lights, carriage rides, and a larger outdoor market featuring local artisans.
This year adds several new elements, including the 21+ Jingle Bar, a First Class train cabin, and a refreshed layout designed around walkable holiday “villages” instead of the old amusement-ride footprint. Visitors can explore Main Street, Dickens Village, the Kinkade-inspired Classic Christmas Village, and the new festival village with movies, seasonal food, and nightlife-friendly areas. Santa meet-and-greets, live entertainment, and synchronized light shows run throughout the season.
Popular nights tend to sell out — advance tickets strongly recommended.
