Celebrate the season beside Monterey Bay at the free 10th annual Christmas on the Wharf. Old Fisherman's Wharf lights up with a 23-foot Christmas tree, a ceiling of lights, and Santa's house, while weekend choirs, dancers, and bands bring holiday cheer on December 4–6, 11–13, and 18–20, 2026. Decorations remain on display daily from December 1, 2026, through January 3, 2027. The Wharf is about a 5-minute drive from Stargazer Hotel.
