Description
Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and a whole host of elves will make an appearance at Dorothy B. Oven Park’s 20th annual Elf Night on Thursday, Dec. 19, from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
Event Details
Over 250,000 lights will twinkle against the night sky, transforming the park into a winter wonderland fit for Santa and all his arctic friends. Visitors are invited to take a stroll around the decorated grounds and let Santa know all the items on their holiday wish list. This is a FREE event.
The line to visit Santa and Mrs. Claus will open at 5:30 p.m. and closes at the designated point promptly at 8 p.m. While enjoying Elf Night, parents will want to have their cameras ready to record all the smiles and wonderment on their children’s faces. Hot cocoa and cookies will be provided by Santa’s little helpers while supplies last.
For safety reasons, vehicles will not be allowed to drive through Dorothy B. Oven Park, which is located at 3205 Thomasville Road, during the event. Public parking will be available next to the park at Thomasville Road Baptist Church, 3131 Thomasville Road.
Motorists traveling along Thomasville Road are urged to drive with caution in the vicinity of the park that night. Drivers who typically use Thomasville Road and who are not attending Elf Night should consider using an alternate route. Delays are expected due to heavier than normal traffic along the road during the event.
If you are unable to attend Elf Night, or just want another magical night under the twinkling lights, the Holiday Light Display in the park is open starting the evening of Thanksgiving, November 28 through January 1 from dusk to 11 p.m. each night.
