It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and the magic is happening right now in downtown San Jose! Christmas in the Park is lighting up Plaza de Cesar Chavez, delighting visitors with festive charm and holiday spirit. This whimsical walk-thru event continues to bring people from all over the Bay Area together, just as it has for the past 44 years.

Stroll through a festive dreamland featuring over 40 whimsical musical and animated displays, a magnificent 65-foot-tall, illuminated Christmas tree, and a breathtaking forest of beautifully adorned trees—each one decorated by local schools, organizations, and businesses, including VTA! The best part? This holiday extravaganza is completely free, made possible by the generous support of the community and dedicated fundraisers.

Looking to avoid the hassle of parking downtown? VTA’s Green and Blue Light Rail lines provide a seamless, stress-free way to get there, along with multiple bus routes serving downtown San Jose.
