The forest of trees is decorated by San Jose schools, community groups, and businesses to highlight all that the city has to offer. 

Christmas in the Park is a nonprofit organization supported by fundraising and community. This is a free event and is open to the public. Additional activities include visits with Santa, live entrainment, and holiday-themed food and refreshments.
