Unbeknownst to many, the small town of Collins is home to a much-anticipated annual display of lights, which is officially known as Christmas in the Park.
The aptly named seasonal spectacle takes place in Bettie D. Robertson Memorial Park.
Entering its 17th year, the drive-thru display is brimming with holiday cheer.
Twinkling lights and dozens of illuminated characters completely transform the park into a holiday wonderland.
As you leisurely drive through the display, you’ll catch sight of angels, gingerbread men, a piano-playing Santa, and more.
Christmas in the Park 2020 runs from November 26 to December 26.
During those dates, it's open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
There’s no cost for visiting Christmas in the Park. However, donations are accepted at the exit gate.
