Holidayz at the Park returns to the Orange County Great Park on Saturday, bringing festive decorations and lights to the Palm Court as well as safely planned events. The City of Irvine is presenting a modified event this year, with new activities and photo opportunities, all outdoors.

Holidayz at the Park features an outdoor light display in the Palm Court, inviting guests to stroll and snap selfies. The holiday decorations include “Air Santa,” a larger-than-life airplane paying homage to Saint Nick’s travels and the park’s military roots. Drop in to see the lights and displays November 21, 2020–January 3, 2021, daily from dusk to 10 p.m. 

Adding to the event this year, Irvine residents are invited to register for “Pajama Party Drive-In Movies”: Frozen II on December 12 and The Santa Clause on December 18. These events are free with required pre-registration and a food donation to Orange County Food Bank.

Also new this year is an opportunity to stop by and take a photo with the one and only Santa Claus on December 5. Santa will be in his sleigh behind a clear shield, with a front row seat for visitors to take a photo from a safe distance.
