The 40-minute tours depart from the turn-of-the-century Pecos River Park in Carlsbad and take you past panoramic views of illuminated islands, boat docks and back yards.Display themes depict Santa’s workshop, the Southwest desert and more as the reflections in the river create a magical shimmering effect. Christmas on the Pecos is considered one of the top 100 “must-see events in North America.”

​

Christmas on the Pecos is put on by Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. If you are coming in town to experience the boat tour, be sure to plan a few extra days to explore the rest of Carlsbad as well! Visit carlsbadchamber.com to see all different activities and restaurants available here!
