For the past year, volunteers at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds have been working to build up the annual holiday lights show.
Now in its fifth year, the show—now called Sparky’s Holiday Lights—draws people from around the county to drive through the lighted fairgrounds.
It is presented by the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Foundation and Agricultural History Project.
