The lights are on at Yukon’s free Christmas in the Park displays at Chisholm Trail Park through New Year’s Eve.
Opening night was Saturday, Nov. 20 with the Mascot Dash, the Chill Your Cheeks fun run and the Kringle Karnival.
Ice skating also returned this year.
People can walk, drive, or ride the train to see displays around Mulvey Pond and throughout the park.
Santa was at the opening night to hear the wishes of children.
The Grinch’s funny antics proved to create many popular photo opportunities for kids and adults alike at the Christmas in the Park opening night.
Whether visitors want to drive, walk, or sit and enjoy, Yukon’s City Park and Chisholm Trail Park are home to a wildly popular statewide attraction visited by people from across the country.
In addition to ice skating and train rides, the City of Yukon kicked off the holiday season with an evening of family-friendly games, a magician, life-sized Christmas characters, a visit with Santa Claus, and the holiday sounds of musician Irv Wagner at no cost to attendees.
The popular Dean Johnson, Dean The Magic Man, also a balloon artist, was a wildly popular stop for the many children attending the festival.
The Santa Express train rides are every night weather permitting from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Information about ice skating can be found at yukonicerink.com. Admission is free to the public.
