Experience the magic of

A European Style Christmas Market Held Under the Oaks

December 4–6, 2026 | 4:00–10:00 PM Nightly

The Holiday Market at Kaweah Oaks Preserve brings the charm and magic of a European-style Christmas market to one of Tulare County’s most beloved natural spaces.

Beneath the bare branches of a 322-acre oak woodland, one of Tulare County's most beloved natural spaces transforms for one weekend into a glowing European-inspired Christmas market just minutes from Visalia and Exeter.

Wander strings of light through the trees. Browse handmade gifts from local makers. Warm up with cider, cocoa, or something stronger. Climb aboard a Train Ride into corners of the preserve you'd never otherwise see, lit up for the night. This is the Holiday Market: a new tradition, held on some very old ground.
