Enjoying the Red Rock Fantasy:
It's easy to follow the winding path through the displays. There is a route with arrows marked in reflective tape. This is a great project for the little ones - be a guide for the night. The displays are a concentration of holiday yard displays. Some are beautiful but most are just plain bright and fun.

Enjoying the Red Rock Fantasy:
If you are looking for a lighted display of natural beauty, this may not be your event. While you will be in the shadows of the Red Rocks, the fun of this event is the brightly colored home made displays of holiday yard art. Dinosaurs, cartoon characters and cowboys all compete for prizes. In the hour that it will take you to see the displays children will be exited by all the holiday glitter and lights. It is fun for everyone but especially great for a family outing.
Los Abrigados is right behind the little arts village named Tlaquepaque. I highly recommend stopping in for dinner, perhaps at El Rincon, and a little shopping while you wait for the sun to set and the lights to come on at the Red Rock Fantasy, just steps away.
