WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — A holiday tradition is returning to Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Christmas Town is back!
The theme park will transform into one of the largest Christmas light displays in North America, celebrating the spirit of the season on select dates from November 11 through January 8, 2023.
Park-goers will have the chance to gaze at over 10 million lights, ride the Christmas Town Express holiday-themed train ride, visit Santa’s Workshop, and partake in festive food, drinks, and unique holiday shopping.
Plus, visitors can enjoy over 20 rides and rollercoasters, including the all-new Pantheon!
Busch Gardens said that there will also be an all-new dining experience: Santa’s Fireside Feast, presented by Coca-Cola®.
"Families can enjoy a hearty meal and a special Christmas story from the big elf himself during this festive encounter," the park said in its announcement.
