Belmont Park announced Tuesday it will transformed its iconic beachfront amusement park into a Winter Wonder holiday spectacular this December.
The free event, which takes place from Dec. 1 to Jan. 5, will feature a holiday toy drive, 10 to 15-foot-tall holiday-themed sculptures, a free Santa photo op, other winter-themed activities and entertainment; plus, Illuminated Winter Nights when the sun goes down.
In spirit of the giving season, Belmont Park will host a toy drive in partnership with the Marine’s Toys for Tots Program during all open park hours throughout Winter Wonder. For every toy collected, Belmont Park will donate one single ride ticket to Big Brother, Big Sisters, a nonprofit organization that seeks to change the lives of children facing adversity by providing one-on-one mentoring from a network of volunteers, donors and supporters, organizers said.
Guests can also expect a variety of oversized holiday sculptures, featuring “Surfing Santa,” a “Merry Kiss Me” romance candy cane archway, beach-style “Starfish Santas” and other festive sculptures by the beach. The holiday sculptures, as well as other winter-themed photo op walls, holiday string lights and décor, will be on display during all open park hours and will be illuminated at night for guest to enjoy until Jan. 5.
Other highlights include free photo opportunities with Santa, live music and holiday tastings.
