Thank you for another great year!
We will be back November 25, 2022

This year, 2021, we'll be celebrating our 27th year with our Rotary Lights Display at Riverside Park.

Nearly 160,000 visitors per year enjoy this holiday tradition while driving, walking or taking a carriage ride through Riverside Park.  In 2021, we are bringing back the opening parade and opening ceremony, however, the parade will start at 6pm, opening ceremony immediately following the parade.  Santa will be in the park every night through December 23, again this year there will be no lap visits with Santa, however children will be able to talk to him like in 2020.  A couple of Santa's reindeer will be in the park through December 23.  Stop by to see the Live Nativity on select nights.  The ice rink and free skate rental will be available to use when the weather allows. Carriage rides will be available on select nights.  Free s'mores will be available at the fire pit.  This has been so popular we are adding a second pit!  Helicopter rides will be offered again this year.  New this year is All Abilities Night on November 29th.  We will be adjusting the lights and music to accommodate individuals that may not have been able to experience the show in the past due to flashing lights and loud music.  Events are on select nights, check out the Event Schedule for more details.  
With over 3,000,000 lights, you can imagine the breadth and depth of this holiday display. And remember, it's FREE. 
"We ask for voluntary food and cash donations".
