37th Annual Christmas in the Park

Next date: Saturday, December 21, 2024 | 05:30 PM to 11:00 PM

Now in its 37th year, this magical winter wonderland features more than one million lights and 200 animated displays, all designed and built entirely in-house by our talented crews!  Your drive to the Longview Lake Campground begins at the Frank White Jr., Softball Complex.  Admission is free.  This year's voluntary exit donations will benefit 35 local charities. 

(Tip: To avoid long lines, we suggest planning your drive on a weeknight early in the season!)

Who we benefit:  Since its inception, Christmas in the Park has donated more than 1 million dollars to charities right here in our community.

To Volunteer: If you are a part of a 501c3 organization and would like to nominate your organization to volunteer for Christmas in the Park in 2024, you will need to provide six to ten volunteers for one night to collect donations from vehicles exiting the park. If selected, your volunteers must work on the chosen night from 5:15 until 10 pm, Sunday thru Thursday, or until 11 pm, Friday or Saturday. As compensation, qualified organizations will share in the contributions collected not to exceed $1000 per organization.  If your group is interested in volunteering, submit your request on letterhead with an explanation of your organization, and how the money raised will benefit the citizens of Jackson County. You must include your group contact person, phone number, address and verification of your 501c3 non-profit status from the Internal Revenue Service.  Questions and submissions should be emailed to jautry@jacksongov.org before the July 30, 2024 submission deadline.
