We will open for 2024 Season on Friday, November 29!

Volunteer with Us

Volunteer with us year round

Our “to-do” list each year is almost as long as Santa’s Nice or Naughty list. Santa has his elves and we need our volunteers.

We need painters, costume designers, animatronic experts, archivists, and more.

Fill out our survey and we will be in contact. Plus, we’ll put in a good word with Santa for you.

Volunteering for Christmas in the Park is more than just putting up trees and decorations. It’s about being a part of a strong, community tradition. Christmas in the Park is made possible each year by community support.

Over 250,000 volunteer hours are required each year to put on this holiday event. We can’t do it without you!
