Christmas in Carlyle City Park

Fri, Nov 28 – Sun, Jan 04, 2026 • 5:00pm - 11:00pm

1090 Lake Rd., Carlyle, IL 62231

The City Park will light up at dusk as our famous Christmas Lights start to shine bright.

From dusk to 11 p.m., you’re welcome to drive (or stroll!) through Carlyle City Park, located at 1090 Lake Road, to see the lights! Be sure to tune your radio to 90.1 FM for the Dancing Trees music. You won’t want to miss this beautiful display as you get into the holiday spirit! This is a free display, but donations are greatly appreciated. Donations help us grow and continue to bring many smiles and memories to families from near and far.
