Wonderland in Lights Walk-Thru

Experience Wonderland in Lights in a whole new way this year!  For the first time ever, the City of Effingham Convention & Visitors Bureau is opening up the Wonderland in Lights for an enchanting evening event, Wonderland in Lights:  Walk Thru, on Wednesday, November 24th from 4 to 9 p.m.

For one night only, the 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, enjoy classic Christmas tunes and wave hello to Santa Claus 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-Toyota.  Fox Holler Coffee will also be on-site for those who would like to purchase freshly-brewed coffee to keep warm.

Parking will be limited at Community Park, so please consider using our free shuttle, courtesy of Livin’ It Up Transportation.  The shuttle will run continuously, from 5 to 9 p.m., and will pick up and drop off at the Courthouse Museum parking lot.

Masks and social distancing are encouraged.  For more information, call the Effingham Tourism Office at 217-342-5310.
