Don’t miss the annual Light Up the Night “Lighted People Parade” and Holiday Beach Party!

The parade will be made up of people wearing their finest holiday lights and led by Santa and his reindeer! Get out your battery-operated LED lights, twinkling ugly sweaters, flashing Santa hats, or even kids’ lighted shoes and campers’ headlamps; there are plenty of ways to join in the fun and get creative. Decorated wagons, strollers, tricycles and more are also encouraged. First prize for the most creatively lit participant is an up close and personal visit with the reindeer!

The parade starts at 5:30 pm sharp and will begin at the Sunset Beach parking lot, proceed on the entry road and loop around the playground and past the bathhouse. The lighted boat parade will arrive at the park around 5pm and stay until 5:30pm weather permitting.

Event entertainment includes the Liberty High School Jazz Choir and the music, dance and regional costuming of Mexico presented by Joyas Mestizas.  Concessions will be available.

Bonfires on the beach will take away the chill. Bring your own marshmallows and roasting sticks if you’d like. You may also want to bring a beach chair to sit under the stars and appreciate the holiday lights visible at homes around the lake.

Register at Eventbrite.com and your email will be included in our raffle to win a holiday gift basket. The winner will be picked at Light up the Night.
