Busch Gardens transforms into a festive wonderland each winter, welcoming families to its annual Christmas Town celebration from November 13, 2026-January 3, 2027!
More than ten million twinkling lights illuminate the park — one of North America’s largest holiday light displays — setting the perfect scene for making memories with loved ones.
There’s something for every member of the family at Christmas Town:
- Family-friendly holiday shows to dance and sing along to, including Christmas Town Live! A Holiday Special, fan-favorite Gloria!, and Scrooged No More
- A visit to Santa’s Workshop in the North Pole (Wilkommenhaus), where Santa and his elves can’t wait to hear little ones’ Christmas wishes
- Santa’s Fireside Feast, where families gather around the castle as Santa recounts a classic Christmas story over an all-you-care-to-eat meal (reservation required)
- Big thrills for big kids on Verbolten: Forbidden Turn, making its Christmas Town debut
- A musical, light-filled journey around the park aboard the Christmas Town Express
- Kid-sized rides for the littlest guests, like Grover’s Alpine Express and Prince Elmo’s Spire
- Festive sweet treats, hearty holiday meals, and seasonal sips
- Seasonal shopping to check a few gifts off the list
- Photo ops with Santa and friends throughout the park
Christmas Town is a separately ticketed event. Admission is included with active Busch Gardens Williamsburg Basic, Unlimited, Premier, and Platinum Memberships, as well as the College Pass and the 2026 Military Pass. Individual event tickets are also available.
