Lancaster's Alley Park lights its trails for four nights, December 10 to 13, 2026, with bonfires, cocoa, and a Sunday lights hike around the lake.
Lancaster's Charles Alley Memorial Park, 2805 Old Logan Road SE, glows for Winterlights over four nights, Thursday, December 10, through Sunday, December 13, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. each evening. This listing covers the whole run.
Visitors walk back through the lit grounds to the Goslin Nature Center, where holiday music plays, sugar cookies and hot cocoa are served, and bonfires are set up for roasting hot dogs. Thursday through Saturday add a peek into Santa's Workshop and the busy Snow Globe display, while Sunday switches to the Winter Lights Hike, a longer loop around the lake past the displays.
Parking is in the field across from the park entrance, and the walk back to the nature center is part of the experience, so warm boots help. Weather calls and other updates post on Alley Park's Facebook page, and the park also hosts the Alley Trail Classic race on November 15.
