Columbia State Historic Park Announces December 4–5 Lamplight Tours: Tickets and What to Expect

COLUMBIA, Tuolumne County — October 17, 2026. California State Parks lists its Lamplight Tours for December 4 and 5, 2026, from 5 to 10 p.m. at Columbia State Historic Park. The published price is $25 per person. Visitors meet at the Columbia Museum before joining a walking performance through the historic town.

What is the experience?

State Parks describes the Lamplight Tours as a walking play that moves through the streets at night and ends with music, dancing and refreshments. This is a separate event from Columbia’s free October 24 Boo Boulevard celebration.

Before buying a ticket

Confirm current ticket availability, age guidance, walking conditions, accessibility and any cancellation rules directly with the organizers. The official park listing gives dates, hours and the advertised ticket price, but does not establish that spaces are still available.
