Celebration in the Oaks is an annual park event that completely transforms the more than 20 acres in City Park.

One of the most spectacular displays takes place in the Botanical Gardens.

Another popular part of the attraction is the nearby Carousel Gardens, and visitors can go on the amusement rides while enjoying the lights.
