Belmont Park Launches First Annual Beachside Winter Wonder

Belmont Park is getting into the spirit of the season this year with its first annual Winter Wonder holiday spectacular on weekends from Dec. 1 through Jan. 5th.

In its first annual celebration, the 94-year-old beachside park’s Winter Wonder brings the season’s spirit to life as guests will be dazzled by a variety of oversized holiday sculptures, featuring ‘Surfing Santa’, a ‘Merry Kiss Me’ romance candy cane archway, beach-style ‘Starfish Santas’ and other festive sculptures by the beach.

The holiday sculptures, as well as other winter-themed photo op walls, holiday string lights and décor, will be on display during all open park hours and will be illuminated at night.

On weekends in December, families can also capture lasting holiday memories with free photos with Santa every weekend starting Sunday, Dec. 1 through Sunday, Dec. 22 from 4 to 8pm.

Other winter-themed happenings include live music with carolers Friday 6 to 9pm, plus Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 5pm, Dec. 1 through Dec. 29.

In spirit of the giving season, Belmont Park will host a toy drive in partnership with the Marine’s Toys for Tots Program during all open park hours throughout Winter Wonder.

For every toy collected, Belmont Park will donate one single ride ticket to Big Brother, Big Sisters, a non-profit organization that seeks to change the lives of children facing adversity by providing one-on-one mentoring from a network of volunteers, donors and supporters.
