Christmas in the Park is not just limited to opening night Tree Lighting but will continue each week during the run of our event. Beyond the trees, displays and nightly entertainment.

The annual tree lighting for Christmas in the Park includes musical entertainment along with the festive tradition of flipping the lights on to holiday trees. The tree lights are synced to a musical light show that will leave you in awe night after night. Immediately after the official arrival of Santa Claus, there's a line up of entertainment which often includes comedy presentations, dance and music shows, a dignitary or two saying hello. The show starts at 6 p.m. so plan accordingly as this is a night you wont want to miss!
