Cuero's Christmas in the Park began as Christmas in Cuero in 2000 with lighting of the Gazebo in the Cuero Municipal Park. It has grown to over 260 displays of Victorian, Western, Train, Gingerbread House and other scenes. Highlights are the 17-piece Nativity on the Lake Island, the 85-foot Paddlewheel Boat, Sea Serpent, "Peace on Earth" Globe, the 30-foot U.S. Santa and his reindeer fly over Lakeview Knoll while his elves are busy with gifts in other scenes. Watch Old Man Winter make snowflakes and Santa wish all a good night! Look for the Christmas in the Park Arch at the entrance, the Twelve Days of Christmas, and the Lighthouse on the Lake's pier. New scenes are added yearly with funds from donations. The drive through the Municipal Park is a self-guided tour with Seasonal Cutouts and Nutcrackers showing the way. Donations are gratefully accepted at the end of the tour. Christmas in the Park is located in Cuero Municipal Park off of U.S. Turn onto Fain McDougall Drive (between H-E-B AND TDECU), then turn left at E Courthouse Street, and follow the signs to the park entrance.
