Christmas in the Park opens at Freeman Lake Park Wednesday

One of the City of Elizabethtown’s favorite holiday traditions returns Wednesday evening.

The city is ready to turn on the lights on more than 125 displays at Freeman Lake Park for their annual Christmas in the Park event.

“This is our 34th annual year for that,” said Elizabethtown Events Manager Beth Pyles. “It returns to Freeman Lake Park, with the entrance being at the Blue Heron Way location.”

Christmas in the Park is open nightly from 6 to 11 p.m. and runs tonight through January 1.

Pyles says the city and the partners that set up and sponsor each display are ready to put on a spectacle for all visitors.

“You can hop in your car, and an illuminated roadway will guide you through the spectacle of the Christmas spirit that is Christmas in the Park,” Pyles said. “It is free to drive through, but we do accept donations, and those help pay for the electric bill that you can just imagine, and we add new displays and update the experience each year so we appreciate those donations.”
