As the sun sets each day over Knott’s Merry Farm, the park comes to life all at once in a special glow moment that is capped by a special tree lighting ceremony. To help commemorate the moment, Snoopy and several citizens of Ghost Town are on hand to add an even more festive vibe to the ‘Tis the Season Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Here’s a look at everything you need to know about the Tis the Season Tree Lighting Ceremony during the 2024 holiday season at Knott’s Merry Farm.

About the Show

The residents of Ghost Town gather around the Ghost Town Christmas Tree for a special tree lighting ceremony. They are joined by Snoopy dressed as Santa as well as a commemorative family chosen at random every day to help light up the night.

How to Watch

‘Tis the Season Tree Lighting Ceremony runs for approximately 7 minutes and is a popular evening option. Because it only happens once, you will want to arrive at least 30 minutes early if you’re picky about your spot. Otherwise, anywhere within sight of the tree will be a great view of the festivities. Snoopy and the dancers are on an elevated stage which helps make them a little easier to see and during parts of the show, they will dance all around the tree.

Showtimes are typically at 5:15pm during the Knott’s Merry Farm season but always check the app for showtimes on the day of your visit.
