Once the park is lit up, it’s time for the fun to begin! Stroll around O’Brien Park and take in the sights of the fun holiday ice sculpture displays following a path to each of the displays.

Along the way, you are bound to run into some holiday characters all of whom will have some sort of story to tell or an activity to show you. Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be in town for this festive evening, as will Elsa and Olaf, and you may even spot the “Elf in a Tree!” While you stroll through the park, you can enjoy tasty food from holiday food vendors.

The O’Brien Park Gazebo will come to life with the sounds of the holidays as the Parker Chorale and our local high school choirs sing some of our favorite holiday carols. The Colorado School of Dance performers will showcase one of their dances on stage as well.

Kids of all ages are encouraged to dress up as your favorite characters whether it be astronauts and princesses,  pumpkins or football players all are welcome to join in the festive fun. Well-behaved dogs in costume are welcome.

Mainstreet is frightfully fun with ghouls and goblins throughout the land… so set off on your quest for sweets.  Many of the shop owners all along East Mainstreet and in the Baskin Robbins shopping center will have candy and treats for the little ghosts in your family as well as booths for other local businesses.
