Kicking off our 31st year on Nov 28, 2025
This year, 2025, we are celebrating our 31st year with our Rotary Lights Display at Riverside Park.
Nearly 130,000 visitors per year enjoy this holiday tradition while driving, walking or taking a carriage ride through Riverside Park. Join us for the opening night parade at 5pm immediately followed by our opening ceremony and fireworks on opening night, November 28. Santa and a couple of his reindeer will be in the park every night through December 23. The Live Nativity, Carriage rides, Hay rides, and Chili Revolution will be available on select nights. Free s’mores are available every night near the giant snowman. All Abilities Night returns on Monday, December 1st from 5-8pm. 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. The ice rink and free skate rental will be available to use when the weather allows. 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”.
