The Anthem community will celebrate the holiday season with its first
Holiday in the Park event from 5:30 – 8 p.m., Dec. 8 in the Community
Park’s center pavilion/gazebo area. This family event highlights several
holiday celebrations with multi-cultural games, activities and food.
The park will be aglow with festive lights and ornaments, including
300 luminaries to line the paths. Members from Musical Theatre of
Anthem (MTA) will showcase their talent by singing festive holiday
tunes throughout the evening. Families can partake in Christmas, Hanukkah
and Kwanza-themed crafts as well as enjoy cookies, coffee, hot chocolate
and popcorn. Santa will be available for photo opportunities in the
center gazebo, and the Daisy Mountain Railroad, a.k.a. the Candy Cane
Express, will be decorated for the occasion and will provide train
rides throughout the park.
Guests are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at the
Anthem Community Center’s front desk or by calling 623-742-3011. Admission
cost for the event is $8 in advance and $10 at the door for Anthem
