Bells Will Be Ringing: Allentown’s Turning 250!
This drive-through light display covers more than a mile of one of Allentown’s most beautiful parks (Lehigh Parkway) and features lighted trees, light tunnels and animated displays. “Lights” has become an annual tradition for many families throughout the Lehigh Valley and beyond (many people visit from out of state to experience this unique display). While building on the success of past years, this season promises to shine even brighter than before.
Allentown’s 16th annual Lights in the Parkway celebration will be brighter than ever before. Hundreds of city-owned pieces will be on display illuminating the Parkway with hundreds of thousands of lights. Not only are holiday scenes featured, but the popular Wizard of Oz, Cinderella and other collections will all be part of this season of Lights. While commemorating our past, the City is continuing to think of our future. This year, we will further the effort to green the display and shine even brighter, as we upgraded even more of our displays. Tree lights will all be LED and while journeying through Lights, visitors will notice several major pieces that now glow with LED.
