Back and even brighter, the City of Effingham and the Effingham Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) are thrilled to announce another year of their Wonderland in Lights! Each year, they turn Community Park into a winter wonderland. Wonderland in Lights, a drive-through light display, features a variety of lighted holiday scenes including reindeer flying, Santa coming down the chimney, a Nativity scene and a Gingerbread house. Since last year’s display was such a huge success, the Effingham CVB has continued to add additional light displays for your viewing pleasure. In addition, to help get you in the Christmas spirit, the Effingham CVB, along with 97.9 XFM and KJ Country 102.3, bring you the option to tune into continuous Christmas music on 90.7 FM while you drive through the display.
The display opens Thanksgiving night, November 26, and runs until Christmas night, December 25. Hours are from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Community Park is located on East Temple Avenue in Effingham, Ill. Santa visits the Wonderland in Lights every Saturday to bring special presents to the children. The Wonderland in Lights is free, but donations are appreciated. For more information or to volunteer to collect donations, please call 217-342-5310 or visit www.visiteffinghamil.com. We look forward to helping spread Christmas cheer throughout Effingham this holiday season!
