About this adventure
The 2026 Christmas in the Park season officially opens with an hour-long Opening Night Ceremony at Plaza de Cesar Chavez on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It also kicks off Santa Season: from opening night through Christmas Eve, Santa offers free photos every night. Families can then stroll the enchanted forest of community-decorated trees and the 40-plus animated displays, which stay open until 10 p.m. Free; arrive early for a spot near the stage, and plan downtown parking ahead.
