Holiday in the Park 2024

Saturday, December 14th
4-7pm @ Elvehjem Park SHELTER

Horse & carriage rides

🐎 Small groups are carted around Elvehjem with horses leading the way–an enchanting experience for both young and old! Rides are first-come-first-serve so arrive early if you’d like to get on the list! We’re raising funds this year to keep the horse & carriage a part of our annual event - details below!

Big bonfire!

🔥 We safely burn pallet wood and gather around a circle of warmth. This is a great place for conversation with familiar faces or new neighbors.

Food & drink

☕ We provide sweet snacking and piping hot chocolate for you to enjoy as you socialize in the park.
🌮 Food truck! Mexsal will be serving up tacos, burritos, tortas, and more (available for purchase).
🍪 If you’re a baker and would like to bring a batch of baked goods to share with the neighborhood, please email holiday@theENA.org with your anticipated contribution so we can plan for it!

Santa claus

🎅 Santa will be there! Your kiddos will get their first glimpse of Santa this year in his festive getup. Pictures encouraged.

ENTERTAINMENT for Young & Old

🎯 Enjoy a game of light-up cornhole, a silent Christmas movie on the big screen, and other attractions!

Holiday music

🎵 The Yahara River Women’s Chorus will kick off the event with a 4pm performance of holiday tunes. Carolers will be strolling the grounds for the remainder of the event.

Bring friends, bring family, but most importantly bring your holiday spirit! Any updates will be posted on this page. Questions or interested in volunteering? Email: dan@theENA.org

This year we’re asking for help from attendees to pay for the most magical attraction at our event! The horse & carriage is our biggest expense, and rather than remove it from the event to save costs we thought this year we’d ask for donations to help pay for it!
