Mark Your Calendars: Tickets for Pullen Park's Holiday Express go on sale July 26

Fair warning, people! Tickets for Pullen Park's very popular Holiday Express will go on sale July 26. I'll give you another prompt later this month, but mark your calendars if you plan on getting tickets for this fun Christmas event as tickets will sell out - even weeks in advance.

This year's event includes a visit with Santa, a ride on the holiday train to view lights, unlimited carousel rides, a snow covered sledding hill, crafts and other activities. Tickets are sold based on a designated train time, so, especially if you want an earlier train time, it's best to get your tickets as soon as possible.

This year's event is scheduled for 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Dec. 1 to Dec. 4 and Dec. 8 to Dec. 11. Regardless of when your departure time is, ticketed guests can stay at the event as long as they'd like.
