Annual “Holiday in the Park” will be held on the weekend of December 16

Daingerfield State Park will be getting ready for the holidays with their Fourth Annual Holiday in the Park. The event will be held on Friday, Dec. 16, and Saturday, Dec. 17.

Each year, the park invites campers to come and help decorate the park with their favorite Christmas lights and decorations. Campers wishing to take part in this event should call the park soon, as spaces fill very quickly. On the evenings of the event, beginning at 6 p.m. each night, guests are invited to drive through the park, enjoying the decorations. A map will be handed out at the ranger station upon entrance to the park, giving the specific route to aid in the flow of traffic through the event.

Once done taking in the splendor of the Christmas lights, guests are invited to stop by the pavilion for cookies and hot chocolate while waiting to visit with Santa Claus. Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras for photos of their children with Saint Nick. The park store will also be open, for anyone wishing to purchase a last-minute, park-related gift.
