Christmas in the Park is an annual San Jose tradition in which Plaza de Cesar Chavez on Market Street is transformed into displays of miniature houses, dioramas, and scenes reflecting old times, holidays, and fantasy environments (North Pole). The displays are put together by schools, volunteer organizations, etc. using contributions from the public and visitors to the event. Christmas in the Park runs from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.
