Christmas in the Park
No holiday season in Fremont is complete without a visit to Christmas in the Park. This drive-through light show at Lake Elizabeth has been a beloved tradition since 1970. Each year, the dazzling display gets even more glorious. Twinkling bulbs and gleaming LED lights illuminate over 100 whimsical scenes and larger-than-life sculptures. Bring the whole group aboard our heated party bus to stay cozy while you ooh and aah at the glittering exhibition. With comfortable seats, surround sound, and lighting effects of our own, we’ll get you in the Christmas spirit before you even arrive. Once you’re at the park, tune your radio to the holiday music choreographed to the lights. After the show, stop for a photo in front of the towering community Christmas tree at the park’s entrance. Before heading home, make sure to grab some hot cocoa or apple cider from the concession stand to warm up. Your party bus will be waiting to whisk you off to the next adventure.
