This incredible display will celebrate its 14th Anniversary this holiday season every night from December 11, 2009 through January 3, 2010 (closed Christmas Day) opening at 5:30 PM and closing at 10 PM. 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. Enter Lights in the Parkway from Lehigh Parkway East and Martin Luther King Boulevard (Allentown, 18104). The price per car has been reduced to $7 this year!

Now in its fourteenth shining season, "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, the 2009/2010 "Lights" season promises to shine even brighter than before.

Join us for this once-a-year event, and don't forget to bring your camera. (For tips on holiday light photography, click here.)

After your tour through the spectacular display, be sure to visit the Lights In The Parkway Gift Barn. As you exit the display, follow the signs to the Lights In The Parkway Gift Barn. The Gift Barn features fine crafts and unique gift ideas for everyone on your holiday shopping list as well as refreshments and Lights In The Parkway souvenirs. Santa will be visiting the barn Thursday through Sunday evenings during the display and photos with Santa are available for $7.00.

Since the admission price for Lights in the Parkway is per vehicle rather than per person, it is one of the most economical types of holiday entertainment-- an entire family can enjoy the display for as little as five dollars (with the purchase of an advance sale ticket).

Part of the proceeds benefit local community groups whose members volunteer to staff the display. Recipients include the Cub Scouts, school groups, the Allentown Fire Police and community groups.
