Celebrating its first holiday season in Minnesota, Holiday Lights in the Park is a new community event that focuses on raising funds for the Union Gospel Mission as well as other local charities and providing an impressive and affordable means of holiday entertainment for people of all ages.

Visitors will enjoy a spectacular array of holiday lights and animated displays as they take a leisurely drive through Phalen Park. The enchanting tour is approximately a half mile in length along Saint Paul’s Lake Phalen and Phalen Golf course. The event will run for 37 nights, opening on November 25th and continuing through December 31st. Daily holiday tours are from 5:30 pm to 10:00 pm.

Holiday Lights in the Park is a family-fun event providing delightful entertainment as well as raising funds for those who are in need. Ice castles with snowdrift peaks, soldiers with horns, Santa Claus in a North Pole truck, a tunnel of lights, tumbling gingerbread man falling from the sky and reindeer leaping over the road are a sample of what visitors can expect. There will be more than 40 unique life-size displays portraying scenes with a holiday flavor or those with a winter feel. Several of the scenes will be animated.
