Charles R. Wood Park will be the site of a new holiday event called the Holiday Festival of Lights.
It will be a recurring event weekends through Dec. 20.
The Holiday Festival of Lights includes over 20 light displays that have been crafted by local businesses and organizations. It has been organized by Events To a T, a local event planning business.
“The interest and generosity of our region never ceases to amaze me,” said Letizia Mastrantoni, Events To a T owner. “Within minutes of releasing the information of this event, several businesses replied with an enthusiastic ‘yes.’”
Attendees are required to purchase a ticket to this outdoor, walk-through event. Each ticket gives access to the event for a 40-minute session. Tickets are $5 with proceeds benefiting local charitable organizations such as Operation Santa Claus, WAIT House and 11th Hour Rescue.
