Christmas in the Adobes is Monterey's signature holiday event, held this year on December 13 & 14, 5pm-9pm. Hundreds of people attend each year to stroll the streets of Monterey and stop in at any one of 23 decorated adobes with soft holiday lights, entertainment, and Christmas refreshments. Proceeds benefit Monterey State Historic Park children's educational and school history programs.

Tickets may be purchased online or in person at the Custom House Store as of October 12 (open daily 10am-4pm and on event nights). Tickets are $25 per night for adults, $2 for children ages 6-17 when accompanied by a paying adult, and free for children age 5 and under. A two-night Gold Pass is $40. Tickets for active military and for groups of 12 or more are $20 per person.

On event nights, ticket sales and will call are available at both Pacific House on Custom House Plaza (for cash/credit card sales) and Casa Gutierrez at 590 Calle Principal (for credit card sales only). Tickets are non-refundable.

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.
