America’s First Theme Park Announces Digital Opening Day

SANTA CLAUS, IND.—–Since opening day for Holiday World has been postponed to early June due to COVID-19, the park will be hosting a Digital Opening Day starting with a welcome from park President Matt Eckert and Fourth-Generation Owner Leah Koch and ending with a firework show followed by a sweepstakes drawing for free tickets at 9 PM Central Time. 

“We may not be able to welcome guests through our gates on May 2 as we had originally planned,” says fourth-generation owner, Leah Koch, “but we’re going to celebrate it just the same.” Home With HoWo Logo_300.pngOn May 2, the park will release videos every hour between 9 AM and 9 PM Central Time. In addition to the fireworks show, they’ll release entertainment videos, cooking tutorials for making your own Holiday World food at home, and a special chat with park president Matt Eckert, and fourth-generation owners Lauren Crosby and Leah Koch.
