iLLUMINATE may be over, but we still have so much to celebrate. iLLUMINATE 2025 was possible because of our incredible event sponsors. These businesses chose to invest in a dazzling community event while supporting a Muscatine nonprofit.

From our presenting and platinum sponsors to our medium and small business and individual sponsors, each one played a part in building a brighter Muscatine. When you’re deciding where to shop or do business, remember those who continue to show up for our community.

We send our heartfelt thanks to all of our 2025 iLLUMINATE sponsors. You truly made our holidays bright.

Volunteers were the heart of iLLUMINATE ❤️

Night after night, our volunteers welcomed guests, collected donations, and directed traffic to keep everyone safe while enjoying the show. Their time, energy, and kindness made iLLUMINATE possible.

We are especially grateful to 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬, 𝐇𝐲-𝐕𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫, who took exceptional care of our volunteers throughout the season. From a warm trailer for breaks, to tasty treats, to helping move volunteers around the park, their support made long, cold nights more comfortable and fun.

Thank you, Hy-Vee and Sinclair Tractor, for showing up for our volunteers and our community in such a meaningful way. Your support helped make iLLUMINATE shine.

Have you spotted them yet? Our penguin hunt has become a favorite tradition for families driving through iLLUMINATE. Keep your eyes open as you travel through the park. They love to hide in unexpected places.

Thank you to our penguin hunt sponsors: Next Gen Motors, Everlasting Impressions, Meineke, and in honor of Jade and Londyn Hendricks. Their support adds extra fun and smiles to the experience.

Our student volunteers have been amazing this season 🌟

Students from St. Mary and Mathias, Susan Clark Junior High, Muscatine High School, and Muscatine Soccer Club have earned volunteer and Silver Cord hours while welcoming visitors and helping with traffic flow.

It has been truly special to see these students working alongside our incredible volunteer team. They bring energy, kindness, and a lot of holiday joy to iLLUMINATE.

iLLUMINATE is open tonight from 5:30-8:30pm. Don't miss the magic this season. We hope to see you soon.

Victorian Village lights up the lagoon with a nostalgic nod to our senior services at Senior Resources. This charming display celebrates history, community, and the services that support older adults right here in Muscatine. ✨

We are thankful for the sponsors who helped bring this scene to life: Lutheran Living, Relion Insurance, and Harper’s Cycling & Fitness. Longtime residents may recognize the high wheeler, displayed in memory of the great Charlie Harper.

Lutheran Living Senior Campus provides senior living residences, personalized services, and a full continuum of healthcare and rehabilitation to support residents today and into the future.

Harper’s Cycling & Fitness offers the area’s largest selection of bicycles and accessories for the whole family, from casual riders to serious competitors. They are also one of only five Official RAGBRAI® Bike Shops each year, with mechanics supporting riders along the route.

The Elf Crane has been shining bright since our very first year, and we are grateful to Happy Joe’s South for sponsoring this fan-favorite display once again. 🎄✨

Happily perched along Grandview, this cheerful elf reminds us of the local businesses that help make iLLUMINATE possible. After your drive through the lights, be sure to stop by Happy Joe’s South, a go-to spot for family dinners, parties, and gatherings.

Thank you, Happy Joe’s South, for supporting holiday magic in our community.
