Rudolph the Reindeer’s nose won’t be the only thing shining brightly in Delaware County skies this holiday season. The annual Delaware County Festival of Lights for Peace runs Dec. 5 through Jan. 11, with all new lights, decorated trees and displays in Rose Tree Park.
Thanks to the generosity of local sponsors and cooperative efforts of the Parks and Recreation Department and the Brandywine Conference and Visitors Bureau, the Festival of Lights for Peace has been revitalized.
To celebrate the sparkling new Victorian Village display, there will be three evenings of special music and events on opening weekend, Dec. 5-7, including a visit from Santa Claus.
Delaware County Council invites all residents to enjoy the Festival, which runs through Jan. 11. Visitors are encouraged to remember American troops serving overseas by dropping off a greeting or gift card in a special mailbox at the Festival.
A highlight of the new ornamentation is a Victorian Village display constructed by students at the Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades in Middletown. The Victorian facades were designed by local artist Rosalie Morrall and made with wood and paint donated by Home Depot.
The Festival of Lights display is on view nightly from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. People can drive or walk through the display.
