Despite the unpredictable weather, festive cheer is undeniably in the air as the Holiday Village at City Park moves indoors, ensuring the celebrations proceed rain or shine. Held last Saturday, this enchanting holiday event offered a quaint throwback experience nestled within the charming environs of Old City Park, located at 1515 S. Harwood Street in Dallas, where visitors can delight in the charm of 19th-century Texas.
General admission is tagged at $5 for adults and $3 for kids aged 2-17, with tykes under two enjoying the festivities for free and parking costs waved. Tickets are up for grabs at the click of a button on the City of Dallas website . Foodies and fans of festive flavors won't be left in the cold, with a delicious spread of food trucks serving up their culinary delights on-site, though it's worth noting these tasty treats will require a separate purchase.
Cash, cards, and probably even digital wallets will do the trick, with payment methods accepted by each vendor varying. To sweeten the deal, visitors can grab a steamy cup of hot cocoa for just $2, with tickets available at check-in, or pop over to the free popcorn and cotton candy stations for a complimentary munch. Holiday shoppers, rejoice! The Artisans Market offers a unique opportunity to check off those gift lists, boasting a collection of local vendors ready to showcase a variety of handcrafted goods waiting to be wrapped and nestled under your tree.
The line-up of holiday-themed entertainment does not stop there. The Rob Holbert Group, Mariachi Band Cuerdas de Mexico, and Unfaded Brass, presented by the Texas Supremacy of Arts & Music, will all be pitching in to set the festive mood, making City Park the epicenter of holiday entertainment this season. The Holiday Village not only presents an opportunity to revel in the season's tidings but also serves as a portal into the yesteryears.
It hosts an array of Victorian-era homes and commercial edifices sprawled across 20 acres of historic grandeur, allowing visitors to meander and rediscover the origins of Dallas’ first city park, situated right in the city’s pulsing heart..
