“From November 22, 2024, to January 5, 2025, a beautiful outdoor light display will transform the area into a magical outdoor walk-through holiday wonderland, including numerous ornamental and holiday lighting displays and a forty-foot-tall walk-through tree,” shares the town of LaSalle.

The lights will be turned on daily from 5:00 PM until 10:00 PM. As for weekend programming, Santa will visit on Saturdays from November 22nd – December 15th as well as a holiday market on Sundays in that time frame.

Warming tables will be available so you can sit, enjoy some hot chocolate and take in the views. Of course, one of the biggest draws is the spectacular 40-foot Christmas tree, which guests can actually walk through!

Washrooms are on site and the event grounds are fully paved and level to “ensure ease of access for persons with mobility devices and parents with strollers.”

The best part is that Holiday Lights Heritage Nights is free to attend making it perfect for a night out with the family or friends.
