A choir, that is made up of members many local churches and community members, and an orchestra tell the story through familiar Christmas Hymns and Carols along with a narrator. The Christmas Story

✨🎄 December Nights is BACK at Balboa Park — and trust us, you’ll want to ride with us this year.

Parking at the park now runs up to $50, but MTS has you covered with free shuttle service from City College + our usual bus and Trolley routes getting you close to the festivities.

🚋 How to get there:
Take the Blue Line or Orange Line to City College Transit Center, then hop on the FREE Park Blvd Shuttle to the east side of the event.

Coming from Mid-City? Ride the detoured Route 7 or Rapid 215 to City College, then jump on the shuttle.

You can also get to the west side of the park by taking the Trolley to Fifth Avenue Station, then transfer to Route 3 or 120. Or, catch Route 120 from Fashion Valley Mall.

🎉 December Nights runs Fri, Dec 5 and Sat, Dec 6. Skip the parking stress, save that $50 for holiday treats, and let us take you straight to the merry magic.
