Bikes take over the Drive Thru Light Show at History Park

For one night only – Sunday, November twenty fourth – the drive-thru event was strictly a motorbike drive-thru event. The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition put the query to Christmas within the Park executive director Debbie Degutis, who agreed to the two-wheeled extravaganza.

Although bicycles aren’t any longer allowed this season, cars are allowed on the Drive Thru Light Show until January 1st. Tickets are $30 and could be purchased at www.fareharbor.com/christmasinthepark/items. It is the first income that keeps the downtown Christmas within the Park exhibit free to visitors.
