Celebration of Lights is a holiday light display held at Fort Zumwalt Park in O'Fallon, Missouri. Each scene is designed and funded by local organizations, churches and businesses. Started in 1991, the holiday event attracts more than 13,000 vehicles each year and more than 10,000 individuals during the Old-Fashioned Holiday Stroll.
See the lights from a tractor-pulled hayride or the City train. These special rides tend to fill quickly! Reservations are required. See below for details.
For three nights each year, Celebration of Lights is transformed for pedestrians. No vehicles are allowed. With fireworks over Lake Whetsel, a visit by Santa and his reindeer, sweet treats and hot drinks, these are truly magical evenings.
