GILROY, Calif. – (Nov. 1, 2006) – The hardworking “elves”
at Bonfante Gardens are making a list and checking it twice to insure
Holiday Lights is twice as nice! Bonfante Gardens Holiday Lights™ opens
for a third season at California’s only horticultural theme park
Friday, November 24 with two new additions – a festive “Home for the
Holidays” parade and special appearances by Snoopy from Knott’s Merry
Farm!
For an extended 18 select evenings through December 23, Bonfante Gardens
will be the only Bay Area theme park open for holiday season
entertainment. The park will sparkle with millions of
dazzling lights, an all-you-can-eat holiday feast, ice
skating under the stars at Gilroy’s only ice skating venue,
holiday themed rides and visits with Santa. New in 2006,
guests will be treated to a spectacular, all-new “Home for the
Holidays” parade at 8:30 p.m. nightly.
The “Home for the Holidays” parade captures the magic and innocence of
the holiday season. Three floats, standing more than 11 feet tall with
live entertainment, will parade through the park adorned with life-size
toys, tree-trimming elves and Santa Claus himself, checking off a very
long naughty and nice list.
New this year, kids and grown-ups alike can also hug Snoopy from
Southern California’s Knott’s Merry Farm. The lovable beagle from
PEANUTS comic strips and television specials will greet guests at the
park’s ice skating area and wave to fans along the parade route.
Bonfante Gardens Holiday Lights opens Friday, November 24 and continues
Fridays through Sundays through December 10 and daily December 15 – 23.
The park is open nightly from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
