LEHIGH VALLEY WEATHER

Lights in the Parkway display now open

The city of Allentown is partnering with Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital to present the 24th season of Lights in the Parkway 5:30-10 p.m. until Dec. 27.

Lights in the Parkway will be closed Christmas Day.

Drive through this spectacular holiday light show in the comfort and safety of your own car.

Traditional favorites and larger-than-life spectaculars set to music transform more than a mile of Allentown’s Lehigh Parkway into a winter wonderland.

Visitors will experience tunnels, favorite holiday scenes and more.

The new displays for the 2020 season will light up the night.

Many of the trees in the Lehigh Parkway are wrapped in lights and shining brightly.

This event is fun for all ages and is an annual tradition for many throughout the Lehigh Valley and beyond.

Allentown’s parks department is the creative and visual talent behind Lights in the Parkway.

Rick Holtzman, superintendent; Christian Bianco, chief maintenance supervisor; Michelle McGinniss and Tyler Fatzinger, parks supervisors; and the parks department staff provided the lighting expertise needed to produce just the right illumination, shadow and silhouetting effects for this wonderland.

Lights in the Parkway continues to show commitment to using energy-efficient LED lights in all new displays and to convert more existing displays each year to LED bulbs.

LED lights use 85-percent less energy than traditional bulbs and last about four times longer.

The Lights in the Parkway program is offered by the city of Allentown in partnership with presenting sponsor Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital.

Tinsel, Star, Mistletoe and Jingle Bell sponsors include 100.7 WLEV and Cat Country 96, iHeart Media and B104, La Mega Radio, Allentown Federal Credit Union, Latina Radio, RCN, Waste Management, Service Electric, Alvin H Butz Inc, Bigfoot Poconos and 93.5 SBG.

Tickets must be purchased in advance either online at lightsintheparkway.com or in person at all Allentown Federal Credit Union locations.

To adhere to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, no cash or credit sales will be accepted on site.
