One of Northwest Missouri’s top draws among Christmas displays is the city’s “Holiday Park” at Krug Park. The St Joseph Convention and Visitors Bureau tells us the display at the northern end of St Joseph’s famed Parkway draws more than 100,000 visitors each year.
This year’s version opens Friday November 29, and will be open from 6-10pm each night through January 1, 2014.
Visitors drive through each year to see the lavish display of lighted arches and trees, winter scenes and the park’s lovely Italianate buildings breathtakingly outlined in lights.
At the southern end of the Parkway, Hyde Park also will be dazzlingly lit for the holiday season. Admission will be free to both parks, though donations are accepted.
