About
Each holiday season, families, friends and visitors from afar come together to celebrate in the magical glow of the Tanglewood Park Festival of Lights, now in its 34th season. Spanning from mid-November to New Year's Day, this enchanting event has become a must-see attraction, drawing an impressive 55,000 vehicles and approximately 300,000 visitors annually.
Drive through miles of dazzling displays, from storybook scenes to holiday themes, all illuminated by more than one million LED lights. It's an unforgettable experience for all ages!
We have brought back the marshmallow cooking experience to Festival of Lights with S'moresville! This long-loved family tradition is located in the Gift Village, right outside the Gift Shop. We will be selling the roasting sticks with either marshmallows or s'mores kits on-site.
The Festival of Lights Gift Shop is located at the Red Barn. Discover holiday crafts, specialty foods, and handmade gifts by local artisans. Don't forget to pick up the annual Festival of Lights ornament!
Check the website for admission pricing. Admission is per vehicle and ranges from family to large group vehicles.
