The Holiday Lights return, casting their festive glow once again from November 3-March 31, 2026. The Highground Holiday Lights program offers a special way to celebrate the season while honoring loved ones. Designed to add a touch of magic to the Park during winter, visitors are invited to experience its beauty in a whole new light—even when snow blankets the ground. While the Park naturally draws more guests in the warmer months, this festive lighting display aims to inspire supporters and travelers to visit and reflect, regardless of the weather. Radiant “Honor Stars” will cast a gentle glow across the Plaza each evening, shaping moments of remembrance into light. Adorned with 25 twinkling LED lights outlining their form, each star includes an 8″x9″ card—a heartfelt tribute to honor or memorialize a cherished loved one or organization. Sponsorship is available for $125 each, and the stars will shine for five months, offering a season of reflection and warmth.
