## About

White Park transforms into an interactive, luminous Candy Land as part of the Downtown Riverside Festival of Lights festivities. Curated by the Riverside Arts Council in partnership with the City, this family wonderland features towering peppermint arches, glowing candy cane sculptures, and a multi-chamber Holiday Light Maze designed specifically for kids to explore and navigate.

Inside the park, children can participate in high-energy play at the soft-foam Snowball Arena, challenge parents at festive giant yard games, and view colorful illuminated art installations designed by local Inland Empire artists. Local food and beverage stalls offer warm apple cider, churro sundaes, and gourmet hot chocolate. Paved botanical paths ensure full accessibility for strollers and wagons.
