Tampa – October 30, 2026 -- Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Busch Gardens Williamsburg turn into holiday destinations from Nov. 13, with Christmas Town shows, light displays and seasonal food all included with park admission.
Tampa Bay adds a drone show and acrobatics
Christmas Town runs select days from Nov. 13 through Jan. 4 in Tampa Bay. Two shows are new: Lights of Wonder sends a fleet of drones into the night sky, synchronized to classic holiday tunes, and A Very Merry Cirque is an acrobatic spectacle.
Returning shows include Christmas on Ice at the Moroccan Palace Theater, Mrs. Claus' Storytime, Elmo's Christmas Wish and Three Kings Journey. On select nights, the Ginga Ninjas breakdance through a holiday mystery about Mrs. Claus' missing cookie recipe. Guests can also visit Santa's North Pole Experience and Rudolph's Winter Wonderland. A New Year's Eve fireworks finale closes out Dec. 31.
