Back To Front Page

 

Saturday, November 21, will mark Northwest Indiana’s fun, outdoor holiday festival, Winter Lights Night.

Hosted by Porter County Parks & Recreation and presented by Metro Recycling, this festival has become a tradition in Porter County.

The lighting of a display of myriad, dazzling light displays, holiday activities, special guests and entertainment, are all capped off with an amazing fireworks display which will begin at approximately 7:15 p.m.

In addition to the usual favorite activities, such as visits with Santa, wagon rides through the displays, cookie decorating, caroling and much more, there will be some new additions to the festival this year.

This year will include a Gingerbread House Competition to involve members of the community and local businesses vying for the top gingerbread house in Porter County.

The Winter Lights displays are available for people to enjoy after the festival, with a free drive through beginning on Thanksgiving Day from 5 to 9 p.m. It will then run every evening from 5 to 9 p.m. through New Year’s Day. Donations are always welcome.

This event, and the subsequent drive through nights, draw over 21,000 cars to Sunset Hill Farm County Park to experience these dazzling displays.

The light displays are unique to the park, and many of them were custom-made by members of the maintenance staff.

Some of the displays include a rollercoaster in lights that is over 20 feet tall, a farm scene consisting of various pieces, and Santa taking off into the sky pulled by his reindeer.

Sunset Hill Farm Park is at the corner of Rt. 6 and Meridian Rd., in Liberty Twp.
