Few holiday traditions are more lasting and wholesome than taking the family out to see elaborate Christmas light displays. If you’re looking for the ideal location to engage in this favorite pastime this year, try Holiday Lights at Largo Central Park. This annual festival offers millions of lights for visitors to enjoy and much more. Largo Central Park is a beautiful place to visit any time of year, with a 1.2-mile walking path, 70 acres of land, over 1,000 shady trees, and a large playground that’s fully accessible. It’s the perfect location for a day of outdoor fun with the whole family. But the park turns into a winter wonderland around the holidays, perfect for an after-dark adventure. Holiday Lights at Largo Central Park is a favorite family-friendly festival fit for all ages. Unlike many drive-through light experiences that feel like they’re over in a flash, this event allows for leisurely strolling so you can enjoy the lights at your own pace. And there’s plenty to see, with more than 2 million environmentally friendly LED lights on display that are strung across and around trees to create playful holiday-themed scenes. You can also enjoy more than just lights. Several food vendors will be on hand to keep you fed and hydrated, and rides are available for kids of all ages. Choose between the beautiful carousel or the seven-story Ferris wheel that offers a bird’s-eye view of the entire park — or enjoy them both! A campfire and other kid-friendly activities and sights will likely be on hand. Holiday Lights at Largo Central Park begins on Nov. 24 and ends on Jan. 1. It’s open every night from 6–11 p.m., and it’s free to visit and enjoy the lights. Ferris wheel and carousel rides are $5 each, and all food and beverages are sold separately.
