Who says Christmas lights are only for December? 🎄✨

We've given one of our trees a patriotic makeover with red, white, and blue lights for the Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

Think of it as Christmas in July—with fireworks instead of snow. If you're visiting the park this week, be sure to check it out and enjoy a little extra holiday cheer.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙

Even though the lights are off for the season, the Winter Spirit Committee is still hard at work! ❄️✨

March might feel a little early to be thinking about holiday lights, but behind the scenes we’re already planning new additions and surprises for next year’s display. The ideas are flowing, the planning has started, and we can’t wait to make the park even more magical for our community.

Stay tuned…we’ve got some fun new features in the works for next season! 🎄💡

Thanks to the incredible help from our volunteers, the lights at the park are almost completely taken down and packed away for the season. 🎄💪

Because we’re so close to being finished, we no longer need volunteers on Saturdays to help with light removal.

We are so grateful for everyone who came out in the cold to lend a hand — your time and effort made a huge difference. 💙
See you next season, and thank you for helping make Winter Spirit such a success!

We’ve started to take down the holiday lights, and we could use some extra hands. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of the magic, now’s your chance! ✨

Come join us on Saturdays in January to help with packing up the lights and decorations. It’s a fun way to get active, meet fellow volunteers, and be part of keeping Winter Spirit shining year after year.

We loved having so many families, friends, and visitors enjoying the lights over Christmas. Your smiles, photos, and holiday cheer made the season extra special at Winter Spirit.

If you haven’t visited yet—or want one more magical walk through the park—there’s still time! The lights will be on through January 4, so come enjoy one last sparkle before they’re gone for the season.

Thank you for celebrating Winter Spirit with us! 💙🎄

Up to 800,000 LED lights cover the park this year. Included with that is the lighted arch walkway, bright dancing penguins, a lighted igloo — and even a fireplace to warm up.
