Bright Nights At Forest Park has been delighting visitors with three-miles of sparkling holiday displays for more than 25 years! Little did they know their business model would turn out to be just what we needed to round out 2020.
As the largest drive-through light display in New England, this Springfield destination is completely COVID-safe because you never have to leave your vehicle!
Bright Nights At Forest Park boasts more than 675,000 colorful Christmas lights arranged in tunnels and tableaus to enchant holiday revelers of all ages.
The attraction is a unique public/private collaboration between the City of Springfield’s Department of Parks, Buildings & Recreation Management, and the Spirit of Springfield, a private non-profit organization.
Since 1995, they have welcomed more than 6 million visitors. If you were to line up all the cars that have visited Bright Nights, they would extend all the way to California!
