"For 11 months of the year, Vasona Lake County Park is a perfectly beautiful spot in Los Gatos where you can enjoy a picnic, walk the creek trail or just chill out by the lake. But every December, it's transformed into something so wildly different, it's easy to forget you're in the same park. I'm talking about Fantasy of Lights, the annual light display that is equal parts sentiment and silliness."
"They sing along to the radio soundtrack, somehow managing to learn the words to obscure Christmas songs like Dominick the Donkey and Mi Burrito Sabanero. And then comes that magical moment when your kids notice the random holiday non-sequiturs: Why are all these dinosaurs milling around? Why is there a volcano? Or the big pirate ship? And what's the deal with that sea serpent?"
Vasona Lake County Park is a scenic spot in Los Gatos for picnics, creek trails and lakeside relaxation. Every December it transforms into Fantasy of Lights, an annual light display mixing sentiment and silliness. The display enchants young children and becomes a yearly tradition for many families. Families drive through tunnels of flashing bulbs, listen to a radio soundtrack, and children learn and sing obscure holiday songs. The display includes whimsical, out-of-place scenes—dinosaurs, a volcano, a pirate ship and a sea serpent—that surprise and amuse visitors. Visitors roll down windows in the Dinosaur Den to hear jungle sounds while cruising the lot.
