While driving through the park, you will need to dim your headlights for optimal viewing of the four mile light display.

In August, workers will begin setting up the lights. Yes, over a million lights will be used for this yearly light display that is sponsored by Chick Fil A.

Whiel driving through, you will come to the big red barn where you can stop for a midway break. Enjoy a hot cup of cocoa or have some cookies while you wait to see Santa. Santa stops in for visits on Thursdays. The red barn has become the home to almost one hundred local artisans and vendors. Everyone is sure to find something that they like while taking this short break. Purchase a marshmallow or two and roast them over the large marshmallow roaster that is set up for all guests to enjoy. There are additional concessions available for purchase as well. Nachos, sandwiches, chips, coffee and other goodies are available for purchase.
