Vertuccio Farms is thrilled to announce its first-ever Christmas Fest this season. This all-new holiday experience promises to bring festive cheer, family fun, and farm traditions together for an unforgettable celebration. Cono Vertuccio, the farm’s chief farming officer, says, “We were ready to create an all-new holiday-focused event for our favorite time of year, so we are rolling out our new affordable, family-friendly event – Christmas Fest, HO HO HO, so come on out and have some Farmtastic holiday fun with us!”

Vertuccio Farms was first started by Joe and Maria Vertuccio in 1979 after the couple immigrated to New York from Italy before making their way to Arizona where they purchased 40 acres of land in Chandler. Vertuccio Farms started simply with Joe and Maria planting watermelon and citrus, but it would grow to become a beloved staple of the community. Now run by Cono and his wife, Angela, Vertuccio Farms has grown into a destination for events and festivals year-round. Christmas Fest supports the farm’s mission to provide family friendly fun and education to their 75,000 annual visitors.

Set against a backdrop of millions of twinkling lights, Christmas Fest offers a variety of activities for all ages, including holiday displays, a winter wonderland walk-through, and plenty of seasonal photo opportunities.
