The Holiday Season has arrived here at the Lake! The first snow fall took place this past weekend, Thanksgiving is next week and Christmas is just around the corner. Now is the time to start thinking about Christmas decorations and of course...Christmas lights! When you own a
home at the Lake of the Ozarks, you can experience all the amazing Christmas light displays around the Lake area. Here are a few local displays you won't want to miss!
Enchanted Village of Lights
The City of Laurie presents the Enchanted Village of Lights at the Laurie Fairgrounds starting this Friday, November 21. The Enchanted Village of Lights is one of the largest drive-through holiday light parks in Mid-Missouri. There is no charge to drive through the Enchanted Village, but any donations are greatly appreciated. Hours of operation are 5-9 PM each night through January 1, 2015.
Versailles Unity Circle of Lights
For the 8th straight season, the city of Versailles will light up its city park for the Unity Circle of Lights from Nov. 26 - Jan. 1. The holiday light park is named after the "Unity Circle," a monument erected at the park entrance to show cooperation among various entities in the community. The Unity Circle of Lights is located at the junction of Highways 5 and 52 and will feature as many as 40 lighted displays, including several animated holiday scenes for the family. The park is open from dark until midnight and admission is free.
St. Patrick's Festival of Lights
The Festival of Lights at the Shrine of St. Patrick, Hwy 5, Laurie, is the oldest light park in the area. It was started in 1981 with hundreds of lights decorating the buildings and grounds and has continued to grow each year. With 4,000 strings of lights, over 60 automatic timers and more than 350 extension cords, the Festival of Lights has turned into one of the major places to see. Instead of animated displays, the focus is on the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus and His Mother, Mary. St. Patrick Festival of Lights will be open daily from 6-10 PM from Thanksgiving through January 1st. There is no charge for this beautiful light display, it is simply our gift to the community.
