Christmas in the Park

The biggest community event of its kind in the area, Tylertown’s Christmas in the Park is a colorful
Christmas display of millions of lights staged at Holmes Water Park. Over 25,000 visitors enjoy the
display each year - the park is open seven days a week from 6pm to 8:30pm from Thanksgiving Day
through New Years Eve. Admission: Cars - $ 5, Commercial Vans - $ 15, Passenger Buses (16+) - $25

The drive through the park has attracted visitors from surrounding communities and is popular with
visitors home for the holidays. From angels and candles to hundreds of other displays, the exhibit has
been featured in area newspapers and on television. Many of the exhibits have special significance. For
instance, the W. I. McDonald family contributed and Old McDonald Farm display, complete with
animated rooster and sun. Aircraft enthusiasts Ty and Bonnie Harvey added an airplane with Santa as a
pilot. Billy and Linda Johnson, who collect antique cars, have added a lighted antique car each year.
The churches in the county worked together to purchase Noah’s Ark and have continues to add animals,
two by two. Every year a different lighted item may be purchased in memory or in honor of friends or
family.
