Through Jan. 2, marvel in the glow of the holiday season during Festival of Lights at Watkins Regional Park! You’ll get to drive in your car and see colorful, twinkling lights and holiday decor that’s sure to put you in a merry and bright kind of mood. The festival will cover about three miles and costs $8 per car that goes through. There will also be a Festival of Lights I Spy Game you can play, great especially for young kids as they sit in the car and spot all the different attractions in the show. You can print out a PDF map of the game through their website. 

Known for being a popular event each year, they recommend coming on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday night when it’s less crowded and busy. But, if you do decide to venture over on the weekend, make sure you get there before 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. P.S. You can give back to the community by bringing canned goods to donate to local food banks that help those in need.
