Tips & Advice

  • Bring some cash for the Donation Station beside the Pergola, since donations go to the Optimist Club's youth programs in Orangeville.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors in December, because the whole event is a walk through the lit-up park.
  • If the weather looks rough, check the Optimist Club's Facebook or Instagram before you head out, because the park doesn't open when weather prevents it.
  • Keep an eye out for the children's contest that the Optimist Club plans to announce with the 2026 schedule.
  • Warm up with a hot drink from the local scouts and churches as you wander through the lights and displays.
