51st Snoopy House holiday display opens Thursday at Costa Mesa City Hall
Snoopy House, a Costa Mesa holiday tradition stretching back five decades, returns Thursday, bringing 10 nights of entertainment and themed displays to the front lawn of City Hall.
Patterned on “Peanuts,” Charles Schulz’s beloved comic strip, Snoopy House features an array of decorations populated by characters including Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and the eponymous beagle.
The display started in 1966 at the Eastside home of Jim and Linda Jordan and moved to City Hall in 2011.
About 80,000 people visit each year, according to the city.
Along with the holiday scenes, Snoopy House this year will feature performances, train rides, free photos with Santa Claus and a snow play area on select days.
The 51st Snoopy House kicks off Thursday with a formal presentation at 5 p.m. The display will be open from 5:30 to 9 p.m. daily through Dec. 23.
Costa Mesa City Hall is at 77 Fair Drive.
