Bay Area Holiday Events One of my favorite Christmas events @christmasintheparksj in finally back in the Bay Area. This event is taking place in downtown San Jose from now until January first. The entire park is transformed into a gorgeous winter wonderland. With over 40 animated & musical displays, along with Christmas trees, live entertainment, ice skating, & food vendors!! #christmas #holidays #christmasevent #holidayevents #bayarea #sanjose #christmasinthepark

Love the concept of the Enchanted Forest where one can decorate a tree on display. Christmas in the Park provides one string of 100 LED lights. There are lots of themed and memorial ones. It's nice to see each tree in the forest decorated and dedicated to something special. 💜 They also partner with Habit for Humanity for their playhouse build competition. Whoever wins gets the Cocoa Cup! Interesting to see what these participating employees are coming up with these days. There are also free performances and photos with Santa. It's a wonderful free event that runs from after Thanksgiving to New Year's Day so the dates are easy to remember. If I have time during the holiday season, I sometimes pop by but it is not a must-see each year. I would definitely recommend going once. The animated exhibits remind me of Disneyland and their imagineers. They revamped some over the years and there are now new ones as well! They have all of them listed on their website with photos. Let me see... I liked the Mrs. Claus's Tailor Shop and the San Jose Earthquake's soccer shoe. ⚽️ Honorable Mentions: the fuzzy singing frog choir, the build-a-stuffed-toy exhibit, and the creepy dolls that go around like a merry-go-round. There are street vendors selling interesting knick knacks, food, and the iconic snowman hot chocolate. They also started having a bar inside an inflatable structure two years ago. At an extra cost, you can do the drive-through light show or go ice skating in front of the SJ MOMA where it is picturesque and there are tall palm trees strung with lights. I did the ice skating once (free company event) during the daytime and I actually liked it better than at night. Apparently the website says dogs are not allowed in the Cesar Chavez park but I always see dogs there. Parking is a nightmare. There are paid parking structures if you don't want to try your luck.

Let me first start by saying I've been through the drive through for many years since it first began. And the reason for my rating this year is because : This year we ended up going on December 28th on a Saturday after Christmas brush is over and we booked it for a 6:30 PM drive through I got my family and my grandkids in the van and were excited to go and see the festivity of lights. when I got to San Jose I was happy to see that there was nobody in line to go in maybe about 56 cars at...

I've lived in Silicon Valley for mostly the last 25yrs and somehow missed this event. I don't think San Jose promotes it 1/10 of what it should.

I was there tonight, New Year's Eve (it goes on until Jan/2). It was the biggest surprise in downtown San Jose (for me)!

A complete WONDER of setups, beautifully decorated, most with motorized dolls or features. Some were with real people, or both. Felt like a mini Disneyland at night!

My FAVORITE find. Check out the caboose and reindeer,...
