Holiday in the Park 2026: Burbank’s Holiday Magic Starts Here! 

Free Ferris wheel rides, photos with Santa, famous caramel apples, and a whole lot of holiday cheer. UMe is bringing the fun to Magnolia Park on November 20! 

 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Burbank, and one of our favorite holiday traditions is back! 

Holiday in the Park returns to Magnolia Park on Friday, November 20, 2026, and UMe Credit Union is the stop U won’t want to miss! 

It’s beginning to look a lot like Holiday in the Park! 🎄 

 

On Friday, November 20, 2026, Magnolia Boulevard will transform into one big holiday celebration, and UMe Credit Union is right in the middle of the magic! 

For more than 30 years, Holiday in the Park has brought Burbank together for an evening of festive lights, live entertainment, local shopping, delicious food, and plenty of reasons to smile. 

And at UMe? We’re bringing back three holiday favorites that won’t cost U a penny!

It’s our little gift to U, and a pretty wonderful keepsake for the holiday season.

🍎 An Apple a Day? Make Ours Caramel! | While Supplies Last 

Some traditions are just too delicious to skip.

Our famous UMe caramel apples are back! Sweet, crunchy, covered in caramel, and absolutely FREE.

They’re a Holiday in the Park favorite for a reason, so don’t wait too long to grab yours. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

A little holiday tip: Our Ferris wheel and Santa photos are available from 5–9 PM, even though the celebration along Magnolia Boulevard continues until 10 PM. Plan your UMe visit accordingly! 

 

There’s More Magic Along Magnolia Boulevard! 

Once you’ve enjoyed the fun at UMe, keep exploring! 

Holiday in the Park stretches from Hollywood Way to Buena Vista Street, with local shops, restaurants, food trucks, live performances, and activities for the whole family. 

It’s also a wonderful opportunity to support the independent businesses that give Magnolia Park so much of its personality. Pick up a few holiday gifts, discover a new favorite shop, grab something delicious, and enjoy a night out in our own backyard. 

New to Holiday in the Park? The celebration begins with a sensory-friendly Quiet Hour from 4–5 PM, offering a lower-sensory experience before the main festivities get underway.

The Best Part of Holiday in the Park? Being Together. ❤️ 

We love the Ferris wheel. We love the Santa photos. And we definitely love the caramel apples. 

But what we love most is seeing Burbank come together. 

The familiar faces we see every year. The kids who can hardly contain their excitement. The families making memories. The neighbors catching up. And the local businesses that make this community feel like home. 

That’s what Holiday in the Park is really about. And it’s why UMe is so happy to be part of it, year after year. 

So mark your calendar, bring your favorite people, and come celebrate with us! 

We’ll have the Ferris wheel spinning, Santa smiling, and caramel apples waiting. 

See U on Friday, November 20! 🎄❤️
