Magical Memories Holiday: Visits with Santa & Trolley Rides

Los Gatos' Newest Tradition

Inclusive, Accessible, & Complimentary

Please view our Magical Memories 2024 Highlights Video here.

Our inaugural Magical Memories Holiday Program was a heartwarming success in December, 2024. Our generous sponsors, especially Presenting Sponsor, Linda Lester of Lester Square, made it possible for us to offer this multi-day major event free of charge to residents and visitors. Children and families enjoyed Visits with Santa at his festive Old Town Workshop; Trolley Rides through our charming downtown; cups of decadent hot chocolate; "Believe" bells, and goodie bags filled with fresh baked Icing on the Cake cookies, glow sticks and keepsake pens.

 

We served over 800 families and 1,300 children over a 5-day period. Thank you Sponsors, Los Gatos Rotary Club volunteers, Jacob's Heart Children's Cancer Support Services (our charity partner), and attendees for helping us to make magic!

Contact us if interested in sponsoring this highly visible event in 2025.

 

Praise from the Community:

"The Magical Memories program was awesome! I had lots of people commenting about what great traditions Los Gatos has!  Both the Trolley and the Santa programs, though being brand new, felt like they’ve been going on for years. A fresh take in a traditional community.The trolley was perfect for riders all ages. . ."  

“This was one of the best ever experiences in Los Gatos. So much fun and energy in town all weekend. Hearing that little bell ringing and watching kids wave was such a hoot”  

“Best Santa and a Wonderful experience”

“Petition to make this (Trolley) an everyday thing in LG”

“We just did the trolley ride in Los Gatos with Santa. We had a blast!”
