Holiday Lights Shuttle


Turlock Transit is proud to provide a free, Holiday Lights Shuttle tour for community members to experience some of the festive holiday light displays throughout the City of Turlock.

While this service is open to everyone, we want to encourage participation by those that may not have other transportation options, or perhaps don't have access to a vehicle with the needed accessibility equipment. This is an opportunity for friends and family to experience Turlock's best holiday lights displays while traveling together.


Reservations:  Participation in the shuttle tours will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Advanced reservations are required (at least one day prior to the desired time slot).  Spaces will be limited to no more than 10 passengers per group.  It is a shared ride service, not a charter service, so you may be traveling with other individuals that are not in your party.

To book a free reservation for yourself and/or your companions, call (209) 668-5600.  The reservation window will open on Monday, December 1, 2025.


Cost: Free!
In addition, you can ride any Turlock Transit bus for free throughout the month of December. Since all fixed route buses go to the Transit Center, you can board any bus and then easily transfer to this special shuttle service.  


When: The Holiday Lights Shuttle will run Monday-Saturday for two weeks, starting on Monday, December 8, 2025 and ending on Saturday, December 20, 2025. On weekdays (Monday-Friday) a bus will depart at 5:00, 6:00, 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. On Saturday a bus will depart at 5:00 and 6:00 p.m.

The estimated length of the tour is anticipated to be about 40-45 minutes.  Individuals using transit to travel to/from the Transit Center should not book the last trip of the evening so that they are able to use transit to travel home. The Transit Center lobby will remain open with access to drinking fountains and restrooms.

Route: Transit staff has developed a route that travels by as many registered Holiday Lights Tour locations as possible within the allotted time. You won't be disappointed!
Where: The Holiday Lights Shuttle buses will arrive/depart near the pedestrian plaza on the north side of the Transit Center building, which is located at 1418 N. Golden State Blvd., Turlock, CA 95380. For those that have used the Fair Shuttle (July), it's the same location.

​Free parking is available in the adjacent public parking lot on the corner of Hawkeye Avenue and North Golden State Boulevard.
