Christmas in the Park is returning to Logansport's Spencer Park for the seventh year of holiday fun that includes a drive-thru light show and music.

The event runs November 24 -  January 1.

With Christmas season just around the corner, preparations have already began, with some of the larger displays being installed at the start of this week.

A press release by Logansport Parks & Recreation Department administrator Jan Fawley announced that Spencer Park's entrance from High Street closed to vehicle traffic on Monday. The entrance will now remain closed through the holidays, and until the lighting décor is removed.

Daytime park visitors are asked to park their vehicles on the north side of High Street, or near the lower pavilion. Park staff are trying to keep restrooms open at Spencer Park opened up as long as possible. When temperatures drop to freezing, however, staff will have to close restrooms and waterlines. 

The Logansport Parks Department also requests that park users please stay away from the Christmas décor in the park, and that daytime walkers stay on the sidewalk or roadway. Guy-wires and other electrical wires set up in the grass could potentially pose danger. 

The event is open to the public with free admission to visitors. The parks department said the event relies heavily on donations and have placed donation boxes at the beginning and the end of the display.
