AFTER NEARLY 25 YEARS, WE ARE SORRY TO DISCONTINUE THE LIVE EASTER PASSION AT VASQUEZ ROCKS.

Whether you are coming to the Saturday Matinee or the Easter Morning Sunrise Presentation check the weather before heading out. The Saturday matinee will hopefully be marvelously warm and sunny. Be sure to use your sunscreen. The Easter morning sunrise presentation, which begins before sunrise, is often quite chilly. Many bring blankets and hot drinks.

There will be portable toilet facilities near the seating but the location is very undeveloped.

Total Time: about 2 hours
