Christmas in the Park & Blinky's Illuminated Holiday

Christmas in the Park returns to Downtown San Jose

Since the early 1950's when the display was originally set-up on the front lawn of the Lima Family Mortuary through it's placement on the front lawn of City Hall during the 1970's and where it has been since 1980, in downtown San Jose's Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park, the Christmas in the Park display is a tradition for our community. In 2021 we are excited to bring the tradition back to downtown San Jose's Plaza de Cesar Chavez Park. We also have a few new surprises as well including new light displays, a brand new 65' tall walk through Christmas tree and Blinky's Tavern - an all new inflatable beer and wine garden! As always, admission is free to our downtown event. The theme for this year's event is "A Very Beary Christmas."

Blinky's Illuminated Holiday

In 2020 we debuted a new drive-through experience and will continue this new holiday tradition in 2021 at Lake Cunningham Park. Our "mile of smiles" features a synchronized light show with some of your holiday favorite tunes. Over 100,000 pixel lights capable of displaying 14 million colors will illuminate twelve different themed lands and this year a holiday fair food festival awaits upon exiting our event.

Tickets to Blinky's Illuminated Holiday drive through will go on sale September 1. Pricing is $30 per car with a limited number of VIP tickets available each hour for $75.
