For one night time solely — Sunday, Nov. 24 — the drive-thru occasion was solely a bike-thru occasion. The Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition posed the query to Christmas within the Park Managing Director Debbie Degutis, who agreed to the two-wheeled extravaganza.
Though bikes are not allowed this season, vehicles are allowed on the Drive Via Gentle Present via Jan. 1. Tickets are $30 and will be bought at www.fareharbor.com/christmasinthepark/gadgets. It’s the main income supply that retains the downtown Christmas within the Park show free for guests.
