Holiday Happenings in and Around Great Park Neighborhoods

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Great Park Neighborhoods is sharing good cheer with displays of holiday lights at each neighborhood park (thanks, Community Association!) to make evenings merry and bright. Make sure to also stop by next door at the Great Park for Holidayz at the Park, a winter wonderland of family fun.

Get Festive at the Great Park

Dazzling outdoor lights, the Grinch, and a larger-than life airplane? Yes! These holiday decorations and more, make this festive spot perfect for a cool evening stroll and hot cocoa. Open daily from dusk to 9 p.m.

 Holidayz Pop-Up at the Great Park Studios

Don’t miss this seasonal pop-up museum — it’s delightful!  Snap a selfie or take a group photo with your favorite people. And don’t forget to wear your ugly sweaters. Open Fridays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., and weekends from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Can you ever have too much fun? We didn’t think so. Enjoy holiday activities, music classics — and the lighting of the Holiday Tree.
