Fred Loya Christmas Light Show

Going to the Fred Loya light show has become an annual tradition for me and my family. It's pretty much the same lights and displays every year. You can expect: A fun little show with Santa and the Grinch (my personal favorite Xmas character ha ha!), around a 10-minute light show with Christmas music, lots of Christmas decor, a manger display and free hot cocoa and cookies after the show. The shows start in late November and end on Christmas Day. It happens Friday-Sunday at 6, 7 and 8 p.m. Guess what? The show is free! I highly recommend it for the kiddos, novia/novio ( boyfriend/girlfriend) and any other loved ones. Take your loved ones from out of town! Free parking is available at Montwood High School. You'd only have to walk a few blocks to the home. I usually take photos but can't seem to find any from previous years. If I take some more this year, I'll post.

For many years I wanted to visit, I finally did in December 2019. According to the KTSM website the show would start at 0600 but didn't state how long the show was. Arrived 15 minutes early, parked in the high school across the street and walked to the house by the time we arrived it was 0606 and the show had already started. The light show ended at 0608. Yes, the show only lasts 8 minutes. They do a show every hour and afterwards the Fred Loya Family opens the gate to the front of their lawn, gives free cookies with hot cocoa. Some of the neighbors also decorate and some charge for pics with Santa. Before you know it .. snow starts coming out the palm trees and yes that makes it a magical moment. As beautiful as it was and being a free show from the heart of the Loya Family I would give it a 5 out of 5, but I personally wouldn't drive there again because how crowded it was, because Im not interested in the free cookies and hot cocoa and because I was more interested in the light show but its hard to enjoy with the large crowd, I prefer watching it at home on youtube.
