The annual Oakland Park Holiday Village transforms Jaco Pastorius Park into a festive winter wonderland. Event highlights include a holiday lighting ceremony, letters to Santa, visits with Santa and holiday characters, an artisans and crafters market, a Christmas tree decorating competition, and an ugly T-shirt and sweater contest.

Guests can also enjoy an artificial ice-skating rink, a carousel, a snow slide, and a food court with a cash bar.

Live entertainment throughout the weekend will feature performances by The Jam Band, Khemistry Band, Miss Wendy’s Dance School, the Girls Choir of South Florida, the Northeast High School Band, DJ Chris, and Dangerfun Entertainment. The event invites families and friends to experience lights, music, food, and holiday cheer in the heart of Oakland Park.
