Holiday Lights at the Lake

The holidays in Eastern Iowa keep getting brighter, thanks to Holiday Lights at the Lake. Entering its 4th year, Holiday Lights at the Lake, featuring a mile-long route of large, animated and dazzling light displays at the WestOverlook Campground in Iowa City, offers an enchanting experience for all ages. This event is open every night Thanksgiving Eve through New Year’s Eve. Holiday Lights at the Lake is honored to become a beloved tradition in the greater Iowa City area, creating and fostering long lasting memories for all. Viewers can enjoy the curated professional light displays that have been sponsored by local businesses. Each year, new displays and enhancements are added. Visitors should look forward to seeing the new “Farming in Iowa” section and as always, every person will receive a complimentary candy cane, and treats for dogs too! Most nights offer a drive-through experience, but Wednesday evenings are closed to vehicles to offer a walking experience for guests who prefer to stroll through the event at their own pace. Added this year is a walk-through night to start the season early on November 27th, Thanksgiving Eve. Cherished “Meet Your Local Heroes” night will be on December 4th, and “Glow in the Park” night will be on December 18th! Wednesday, December 25th (Christmas) will be a drive-through due to the holiday, but all other Wednesdays will be a walk-through night as long as winter temperatures allow.
