Jackson County Parks + Rec is excited to announce that the popular “Trip the Light Fantastic” Bike Ride through Jackson County’s Christmas in the Park is planned for Sunday, November 24 at Longview Lake Park. Cycling enthusiasts will enjoy a magical 4.5-mile ride up to and through the more than 200 lighted, animated displays that make up Jackson County’s 37th Annual Christmas in the Park. Headlights and helmets are required for this night ride.
New this year: The ride will start and finish at the Frank White, Jr. Sports Complex, located at 3901 SW Longview Road, offering convenient on-site parking for attendees. We invite families and novice cyclists to begin their ride at 5:30 p.m. More seasoned cyclists are encouraged to ride the course at 6:15 p.m.
“We invite you to light and decorate your bike for this one-of-a-kind ride celebrating 37 years of Christmas in the Park,” said Parks + Rec Director Michele Newman. “You will be in awe of our 200 dazzling animated displays and more than 1.5 million brilliant lights. We promise you a truly memorable holiday experience!”
Trip the Light Fantastic is a free event. Pre-registration is not required. Parental discretion is advised for riders under the age of 10 as the 4.5-mile course can be dark and hilly in places. For more information, check out the Jackson County Parks + Rec event calendar at makeyourdayhere.com.
