You’re invited to an enchanting Visit Effingham experience!  Walking Through Wonderland will host its 4th annual walk-thru event on Wednesday, November 27th, from 5 - 8:00 p.m.

For one night only, Wonderland in Lights will close to all vehicles and offer visitors an opportunity to get up close and personal with our larger-than-life light displays. 

This event is free to the public, but donations are welcome.

View the displays at your own leisure, listen and sing along to your favorite Christmas music with Friends of Frosty and wave hello to Santa Claus (and keep an eye out for The Grinch!) when you reach the end of the walk.  Complimentary refreshments, including hot cocoa and cookies, will be available fireside, while supplies last, courtesy of Dan Hecht Chevrolet-ToyotaFox Holler Coffee will also be providing complimentary coffee and cookies.  Hometown Pretzels, Curbed Cravings, Macklin Meadow Kettle Corn and Oma Gisi's German Bakery will be available for purchase, as well.

Don’t forget to stop by Visit Effingham's Holiday Headquarters, at the park's pavilion, to pick up your free holiday souvenir, make a Christmas craft, courtesy of the Effingham County 4H, + decorate a cookie with Effingham County Connections - sponsored by Kirby Foods!  You can even get your face painted by Make on Main while you wait (these activities are free to the public).  We also have another fun surprise for the kids in this area that they'll want to check out... Stay tuned!

Parking will be limited at Community Park, so please consider using our free shuttles, operated by Wad It Up Transportation.  The shuttle will run continuously, from 5 to 8:00 p.m., and will pick up and drop off at the Courthouse Museum parking lot.  This year we will also offer a golf cart shuttle, courtesy of Goeckner Brothers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, as a service for those who cannot physically do the walk but still want to attend the event at the end of the walk thru.  You can be picked up in the parking lot by the baseball fields and shuttled over to the end of the walk thru.

Thank You to our Sponsors!
