More than a million lights and 200 animated displays will illuminate your magical drive through Jackson County’s 38th Annual Christmas in the Park.
Since opening in 1987, nearly 3 million people have made the drive through Jackson County’s Christmas in the Park a part of their annual holiday experience.
“These events are true holiday traditions for families across our community,” said County Executive Phil LeVota. “We hope you’ll come out and experience the magic of Christmas in the Sky and Christmas in the Park — our gift to you, a free celebration for all to enjoy. It’s a reminder of how proud we are to call Jackson County home.”
While there is no charge for this drive-thru event, voluntary exit donations are accepted, with a portion of the proceeds divided among 39 area charities. Thanks to the generosity of Christmas in the Park patrons, Jackson County has been able to give over $1.2 million to more than 1,000 local charities since the event’s inception.
Your drive to the Longview Lake Campground begins at the Frank White Jr., Softball Complex.
Christmas In the Park will be open nightly November 26 – December 31. To avoid long lines, we suggest planning your drive on a weeknight early in the season.
