Christmas in the Park is a winter event in San Jose, California that takes place each year in Downtown San Jose, roughly from the last week of November to January 1. During this time, more than five hundred Christmas trees decorated by local schools and other groups are displayed in Plaza de César Chávez Park, usually with more than 50 Christmas-related musical and animated exhibits, a 55-foot high Community Giving Tree, and souvenir and treats shops.
The event brings an estimated $13 million in visitor spending to the city. It is free to the public, although donations to help offset its costs are suggested.
In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Christmas in the Park pivoted to a drive-through event at San Jose's History Park.
