Welcome to Parkersburg City Park – Holiday in the Park! We are a passionate group of volunteers committed to creating a magical holiday experience for the Parkersburg community. Our board works tirelessly throughout the year to plan, organize, and bring to life one of the area’s most cherished traditions — the annual Holiday in the Park light display.

Each holiday season, Parkersburg City Park transforms into a dazzling display of lights and festive decorations, creating a winter wonderland for families and visitors to enjoy. From the twinkling arches to the beautifully lit trees, every detail is thoughtfully arranged to spark joy and bring people together during the most wonderful time of the year.

But Holiday in the Park is about more than just lights — it’s about building community and creating lasting memories. One of our favorite traditions is the annual coloring contest, where local kids have the chance to showcase their creativity and win prizes. This event not only encourages artistic expression but also helps strengthen the connection between families and the community.

Our board is made up of individuals from all walks of life, united by a shared love for Parkersburg and the holiday season. We work behind the scenes to handle everything from fundraising and coordinating volunteers to setting up the intricate light displays that make Holiday in the Park so special. It’s a labor of love, but seeing the smiles on the faces of visitors makes it all worthwhile.

We invite you to come and experience the magic for yourself. Whether you’re taking a peaceful drive through the park to enjoy the lights or participating in one of our family-friendly events, we hope you’ll feel the warmth and joy that Holiday in the Park brings to our community.

Thank you for supporting Holiday in the Park — we look forward to celebrating the season with you!
