2024 Festival of Lights Route Update

Heads Up! Due to ongoing construction at the Tanglewood Park Golf Clubhouse, this year's Festival of Lights route is taking a little detour! After you pass through Gift Village, you'll cruise by the Train displays and skip the hill that leads to the Golf Clubhouse.

But don't worry—ALL of your favorite displays, plus some brand-new ones, have been rearranged to make sure you still experience the full magic that Tanglewood Park’s Festival of Lights is famous for!
