Christmas in the Adobes is Monterey's signature holiday event. Held this year on December 8 & 9, 5pm-9pm, it features many beautifully decorated historic adobes for you to visit on foot. Staff and volunteers dressed in period attire greet visitors, with many venues offering music and entertainment. Proceeds benefit Monterey State Historic Park children's educational programs and the restoration of the historic First Theatre.

Tickets may be purchased online or in person at the Custom House Store at 1 Custom House Plaza (open Thu-Sun, 11am-3pm) or the Pacific House Store at 20 Custom House Plaza (open Tue-Sun, 10am-4pm). Tickets are $30 per night for adults and free for children and youth age 17 and under. A two-night Gold Pass is $45. Discounted tickets for active military personnel must be purchased in-person. Tickets are non-refundable.

On event nights, ticket sales and will call are available at Pacific House on Custom House Plaza (cash or credit card only). Will call tickets are also available at Casa Gutierrez at 590 Calle Principal and Stevenson House at 530 Houston Street.

Event-goers will receive an event program that describes each venue with a map to assist in plotting your course. Join the many Monterey Peninsula locals who ring in the holidays at this annual city-wide event!
