It’s our favorite time of year as we get to eat, drink, and be merry at the Festival of Holidays at California Adventure Park.
Disneyland’s Festival of Holidays
The festival celebrates the cultural diversity of Southern California through live music and dance performances, beautiful decor, and marketplace booths. Some of our favorite dining locations are even getting in on the action with their own holiday offerings a day early!
