The Lights
Sat, Nov 23 – Sun, Dec 29, 2024 • 5:00pm - 8:00pm
2600 Richview Rd., Mount Vernon, IL 62864
Immerse yourself in winter wonder with more than 1 million Christmas lights twinkling along a one-mile walking trail through the heart of the museum’s 80-acre campus.
Savor the season with a stroll along Peppermint Pathway. Watch in wonder as our new floating feature does a Winter’s Waltz across the Cedarhurst Pond. And dance along to Light spill, a moving feature installed atop one of Cedarhurst’s largest sculptures. These are only a sampling of the sparkle that’s in store at The Lights! Capture the memories at fun photo stations placed along the walking route – just don’t eat the Gingerbread men! There are plenty of other treats available anyway. Roast s’mores at the fire pits or stay warm with a hot cocoa (adults can add an extra kick!) as you immerse yourself in the illumination. Grab your friends and family – maybe a scarf and some mittens too. You don’t want to miss your chance to take in the twinkle and make your own magical memories at The Lights.
