RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - As the weather finally dips below 80 degrees, Rancho Cordova is eager to embrace the holiday season. It’s the perfect time to join Visit Rancho Cordova for a holiday-themed “Cozy Crawl” photo scavenger hunt throughout the community.

From Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, residents and visitors can spend the meaningful holiday months exploring their city and supporting local small businesses along the way.

The free “Cozy Crawl” challenge includes 100+ Rancho Cordova holiday activities and events, quirky attractions, award-winning craft breweries and deliciously diverse restaurants for participants to try out at their own pace.

Shop until you drop at local holiday craft fairs, sip your way through a local Tea Trail, explore local history, attend the Rancho Cordova Christmas Tree Lighting or take a day trip to nearby Apple Hill orchards to make the most of the autumn and winter season.

Rancho Cordova has a lot of holiday joy to offer. Participants will find a wide range of options to choose from depending on their interests.

The more you explore, the more you’re rewarded! Each photo check-in earns a user points towards digital badges and raffle entries for local gift cards and swag. Winners will be drawn in January.

If you’re a resident or regional neighbor, this is the perfect way to explore Rancho Cordova’s backyard, see what’s special about our destination and dive in headfirst. You might be surprised by what you find!
