This holiday season, in addition to unique shopping opportunities, visitors to historic downtown Galveston can enjoy a free holiday event called “Lasers, Lights and Magic in the Park.” During Thanksgiving weekend on Saturday, Nov. 30, Saengerfest Park, 2302 Strand, hosts the 2nd annual Lasers, Lights and Magic in the Park Celebration. The park will transform into a holiday spectacle with music, a special appearance by Santa Claus and twinkle lights synchronized to music, all culminating with a holiday themed laser light show. As an added touch of magic, periodic flurries of snow will blow through the park in tropical Galveston. Festivities begin at 6 p.m. and are free to the public.
Lasers, Lights and Magic in the Park continues through New Year’s Eve on Tuesday, Dec. 31. Visitors can enjoy a holiday themed 15-minute laser light show daily at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Saengerfest Park. On Saturdays and Sundays, with the exception of Dickens weekend on Dec. 7 and 8, Santa on The Strand returns from 1 to 5 p.m. for photos at Santa’s Workshop. Additionally, the Galveston Holiday in the Park Choral Concert Series will take place on Dec. 14-15 and Dec. 21. Local choir groups and bands will perform at Saengerfest Park from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. followed by a 15-minute laser light show at 6 p.m., 7 p.m., and 8 p.m. The holiday light show is free and open to the public.
Lasers, Lights and Magic in the Park, Santa on the Strand, and the Galveston Holiday in the Park Choral Concert Series are part of Galveston’s Passport to Holiday Magic, a two-month celebration of more than 1,000 holiday events.
