City Park Conservancy\u2019s (CPC) largest fundraiser, Celebration in the Oaks, is one of the most-spectacular holiday lights festivals in the country that has fascinated guests for generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The month-long event attracts over 120,000 visitors each year who come to see New Orleans City Park\u2019s famous live oak trees swathed in over one million twinkling lights and discover hundreds of breathtaking displays throughout the\u00a0Park. This year, CPC hopes to welcome even more for THE New Orleans Holiday Tradition.<\/p>\n

\u201cCelebration in the Oaks is our largest fundraiser, but it is also an opportunity for the community to come together,\u201d said CPC President and CEO Rebecca Dietz. \u201cWe aim to ensure as many as possible can enjoy the festivities \u2013 that is why we\u2019re implementing more value than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Driving Tour Value Nights were introduced in 2022, and now \u2013 for the first time ever \u2013 Walking Tour Value Nights will be part of the Celebration. For nine nights, guests will be able to purchase discounted tours whether on foot or via vehicle. Both tour types will be $20 on December 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19 and 26 and January 1 and 2. Guests who combine tours on these nights will receive an additional discounted Walking Tour rate of $10 per person.<\/p>\n

Again\u00a0this year, Driving Tour guests will be able to \u201cskip the line\u201d with the Celebration in the Oaks Dasher Pass. This $40 expediting option is available for purchase during the regular ticket-buying process \u2013\u00a0Friends of City Park Members<\/a>\u00a0receive one free Dasher Pass Driving Tour.<\/p>\n

Also back this year is the combined\u00a0Celebration in the Oaks Preview Party<\/a>\u00a0held on Saturday, November 23. The extra-festive fundraiser in Carousel Gardens Amusement Park \u2013 featuring entertainment, rides, and all-you-can imbibe brew \u2013 once again extends into the Botanical Garden for an elegant experience with full bar, specialty cocktails, delicious dishes, and a Walking Tour sneak peek.<\/p>\n

Lastly,\u00a0CPC\u2019s holiday raffle<\/a>\u00a0returns with a 2024 Crosstrek Premium courtesy of Bryan Subaru. $75 enters you for a chance to win a brand-new vehicle valued at\u00a0$31,572 MSRP. Only 1,000 tickets will be sold now-December 6 at 9am. Drawing to take place live on FOX8.<\/p>\n

CPC\u2019s annual operating budget is largely reliant on self-generated activities, often weather-dependent, and Celebration in the Oaks plays a key role in funding the Park\u2019s continued maintenance and beauty each year,\u00a0providing nearly 10% of the Park\u2019s annual budget. The public\u2019s investment and attendance at Celebration in the Oaks supports City Park\u2019s success going forward.<\/p>\n
