On weekends and select weekdays (see complete schedule on page 5) from November 20 - December 31, guests can experience the wonder and magic of the season while beginning what should become a new family tradition in this region.

Holiday in the Park's major features include thousands of sparkling holiday lights, a spectacular 60' Christmas tree, family ice skating and live reindeer that will help to transform the park into a one-of-a-kind winter marvel.

Also, carolers will serenade guests with holiday classics and Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves, though hard at work in Santa's Workshop, will still manage to make time available for daily meet and greets and photos. All new characters including playful reindeer, dancing gingerbread kids and The Great Escape's Spruce the Moose will join the popular Looney Tunes friends for the seasonal fun. Ebenezer Scrooge has also made his home at The Great Escape for the season spreading his bah-humbug humor to all.

Holiday in the Park also features festive, live entertainment including a Happy Holidays dinner show in the Bavarian Palace and in "Toy Box Christmas" at the Alpine Feat Haus a child's dream of her toys coming to life becomes reality. Even Frosty the Snowman will be on hand for live meet and greets in the Fest Area. Kids will be able to "strut their vocal stuff" with holiday karaoke in the Jolly Tree Theatre.

"We are very excited to introduce this all new event to The Great Escape this year. This celebration extends our season, provides an even greater value to our Season Pass holders and will deliver unforgettable family memories to last a lifetime," said Don McCoy, Park President of the Six Flags Great Escape Properties.
