Holiday magic fills the air as downtown San Jose sparkles brighter than ever before! Christmas in the Park dazzles Plaza de César Chávez with lights and entertainment, continuing to bring visitors from all over the Bay Area together with its festive charm and holiday spirit just as it has for the past 45 years.

After stepping off at San Antonio Station, take a short, easy walk toward the festivities. Grab a cup of the famous Christmas in the Park hot chocolate as you stroll through a winter wonderland filled with festive sounds, more than 40 whimsical holiday displays, a 65-foot illuminated Christmas tree, and a forest of community-decorated trees — including one from VTA! The best part? This beloved holiday event is completely free, made possible by the generous support of the community and the dedicated fundraisers.

But the holiday cheer doesn’t stop there. It continues at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds with Blinky’s Drive-Thru Light Show! From the comfort of your cozy car, experience nearly 1 million shimmering lights and sparkling tunnels, with festive melodies adding even more cheer.

If you’d rather avoid the hassle of parking downtown, VTA’s Green and Blue Light Rail lines provide a seamless, stress-free way to get to Christmas in the Park, along with multiple bus routes serving downtown San Jose.
