Light Up The City/Holiday Tinsel Trail


Welcome to the City of College Park & CPMSA’s Light Up The City/Holiday Tinsel Trail Celebration!

Prepare to immerse yourself in an explosion of holiday magic and community spirit! This dazzling event, held during the first week of December—right after the Thanksgiving holidays—transforms College Park into a sparkling winter wonderland where joy, laughter, and festive cheer abound.

What’s in Store:

  • Festive Refreshments: Sip on holiday-inspired libations from our exclusive CPMSA Wine Glass, savor a steaming cup of hot cocoa, and delight in a medley of seasonal treats that warm the heart.
  • Enchanting Atmosphere: Wander amidst brilliantly illuminated trees and breathtaking holiday decorations that set the stage for unforgettable memories and picture-perfect moments.
