Calistoga’s Annual Lighted Tractor Parade is a beloved holiday tradition that celebrates the town’s agricultural roots with festive flair. Held every first Saturday in December, the parade features over 50 beautifully decorated tractors, trucks, and farm equipment, all adorned with thousands of shimmering holiday lights. This rain-or-shine event attracts 12,000 to 14,000 attendees, showcasing the charm of Calistoga’s small-town holiday spirit.
The parade, which started in the late 1990s, has grown into a nationally recognized holiday celebration. Along with tractors, visitors can enjoy elaborately decorated floats, horse-drawn carriages, and a visit from Santa. The parade lights up Lincoln Avenue with holiday cheer, making it the perfect way to kick off the season in Napa Valley.
