Top 5 Holiday Events in Vacaville, California [Updated 2021]

1. Vacaville Festival Of Trees on Display & Virtual Auction

11/15/21 - 12/3/21

An Annual Christmas Tree Auction & Family Festival Benefiting Opportunity House. Beginning on November 15, 2021, the Vacaville Festival of Trees will showcase fully decorated themed trees and wreaths in various storefronts throughout Vacaville. The trees can be seen in the windows of many businesses by car or by taking a short stroll through downtown Vacaville. For many, the Vacaville Festival of Trees celebration signals the start of the holiday season. Dozens of fully decorated large and small themed Christmas trees, many of which include gifts & gift cards, are donated by businesses and organizations in the community and placed on a public virtual auction. In early December, at the close of the virtual auction, the trees are delivered to the highest bidder, in plenty of time for the winning bidders to enjoy their tree and gifts during the Christmas season. The Vacaville Festival of Trees is the premier annual benefit for Opportunity House, whose mission is to break the cycle of homelessness for women, men, families, and transitional age youth in Solano County.

2. Nutcracker Performed by the Vacaville Ballet Company

12/9/21 - 12/12/21

The Vacaville Ballet Company is thrilled to be returning home to the VPAT stage this winter after 24 months away! VBC opens the holiday season with the return of the classic Nutcracker. Based on the E.T.A. Hoffman story, the Nutcracker follows Clara on her magical journey with her enchanted Nutcracker through the Land of Snow, where they meet the lovely Snow Queen. They travel on to the Nutcracker’s Palace, where the Sugar Plum Fairy invites them to indulge in all the treats of the land. They are joined by the exotic Arabian bird and Mother Ginger and her dancing gingerbread children. Finally, the Dew Drop Fairy and her garden of flowers perform in their honor. Clara awakens at home, wondering if she really spent the evening on a magical journey or if it was all a beautiful dream. Bring your family and kick off your holidays with VBC!.
