Holiday Roundup at Leonis Adobe Museum

The Leonis Adobe Museum is one of the oldest buildings in the Calabasas area, and its Holiday Roundup is the museum's seasonal event. It is listed for Saturday, December 5, 2026. If you are collecting things to do in Los Angeles this winter that are not another mall visit, this is a quieter, more historic pick on the west edge of the San Fernando Valley.

What to expect

The museum has not published a time for this date that we could confirm, so the day is shown as Time TBA. Earlier Holiday Roundups at the museum have been built around the same ingredients: a curated gift shop, crafts and activities for kids, music, food and a chance to meet Santa. Treat that as a general idea of the event, not a promise of this year's lineup. Vendors and the program can change from year to year.

The setting is the real draw. The museum preserves a nineteenth-century ranch compound, including a two-story adobe home with wide porches and a garden of young grape vines. Walking the grounds in cool December air is a good way to spend an afternoon, and it sits well outside the usual downtown holiday crowds.

Know before you go

When: Saturday, December 5, 2026 (time to be confirmed)

Where: Leonis Adobe Museum, Calabasas

Price: Not confirmed. Check with the museum before you go.

The listing we found does not state admission, so we are not printing a price. The museum lists a phone number and a contact email on its own website, and it is the best place to confirm hours, ticketing and how food and vendor sales are handled. Call ahead too if you want to ask about parking, since we have not confirmed what is available on the day.

Planning your day

Calabasas is a drive from most of the city, so build in time for traffic on the 101. Families with small children will find the grounds easy to walk, but wear comfortable shoes, because the ground is a mix of dirt, wood chips and paving. Bring a jacket for the late afternoon, when the temperature drops fast in the Valley.

If you want a longer outing, pair the museum with a stop in Calabasas for a meal. The event suits a relaxed visit rather than a packed schedule, so there is no need to arrive at a particular moment. It also works as a low-pressure gift shopping trip for relatives who like local history.
