Holiday in the Park
November 23 to December 23, 2024
The most wonderful time of the year returns to Six Flags Fiesta Texas on select dates between November 23 and December 23. Holiday in the Park features award-winning live entertainment, such as The Majesty of Christmas in Zaragoza Theatre, thousands of Christmas lights around the park, visits with Santa Claus and themed holiday areas. 2024 sees the return of live carolers in Crackaxle Canyon and an expanded Hometown Holidays section in Rockville.
Holiday in the Park began in 1985 at one of Fiesta Texas' sister parks, Six Flags Over Texas. Six Flags Fiesta Texas’ current version of Holiday in the Park began in 2007. However, Fiesta Texas is no stranger to Christmas events. A similar event, Lone Star Christmas, took place in the park from 1992 to 1995. Lone Star Christmas was no small feat for the park. The event featured a "tree of lights" that spanned 115 feet up the quarry wall, topped with a 12-foot star. In 1993, the park recorded the usage of sixteen miles worth of Christmas lights, five thousand feet of garland and more than five hundred Christmas bows. Entertainment included a 50s-themed Christmas show and a dinner show inside Sangerfest Halle. To top it off, the original Rattler was decorated with a 60-foot-tall star on its lift hill.
