Holiday Park has more than 250,000 lights

Visitors will find more than 250,000 lights at  Holiday Park in St. Joseph, Missouri.  Known most of the year as Krug Park, the Parks and Recreation District begins working in mid-October to ensure a magical experience for kids of all ages.  But what makes it tick are the community volunteers that bring the event to life, especially the St. Joseph Optimist Club members who work every evening to provide volunteer security and other services that are needed for an activity of such great magnitude. Great job! 


Holiday Park has been a tradition in St. Joseph for 29 years.  Click here for a picture of the light show entrance.
