San Jose Holiday Lights event has Discovery Meadow glowing

"The ticketed event has filled the five-acre park next to the Children's Discovery Museum with huge illuminated sculptures, spread out in six themed areas that range from a pair of Christmas scenes and a Mexican-inspired desert landscape to a whimsical candy land and an enchanted garden with a giant caterpillar and towering plants."

"(There are a couple of dinosaurs milling about as well, but if Fantasy of Lights at Vasona Lake County Park has taught us anything, it's that you can't go wrong with dinosaurs during the holidays.) People walk up to the illuminated entrance to San Jose Holiday Lights at Discovery Meadow Park downtown on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025."

"San Jose Holiday Lights, which is produced by DOCA Festival, opened last Friday night and is running through Jan. 4, so there's plenty of time to check it out. You can get more information and tickets at www.docafestival.com."
