The Moncus Park Christmas activities continue tomorrow, with the rescheduled showing of Elf.
Tonight, folks turned out to hear Chubby Carrier, said events programmer Heather Twichell.
"So we have Chubby Carrier out here, so I don't know how anybody could not have a great time with him," she said. "We have some delicious food out here and really fun kids' activities. These kids love riding around in a little choo-choo train. We have a littel obstacle course for them. We really have something for everybody in the family to enjoy."
General Admission tickets are available online for $10 per person. Tickets at the door are $15 and can be purchased with cash or credit card. Upgraded ticketing options are also available both online and at the door.
Children two and under are free. You can use RFID wristbands to purchase all food and drinks. Guests can load money onto their accounts using debit or credit cards in advance or utilize multiple "top-up" stations throughout the event.
General admission tickets include FREE PARKING at Cajun Field with a short shuttle ride to and from Moncus Park. Shuttle services will run every 15 minutes beginning at 4:30 p.m. each night. Drivers with parking passes are asked to enter Moncus Park from the south.
If you want to get in free, you can volunteer for the event. You get a free T-shirt and free admission in exchange for your work at the event. For more info, go here: https://app.giveffect.com/campaigns/19679-2021-christmas-in-the-park-volunteer and click on "volunteer."
