Work started weeks ago, on rainy days in an empty park.
Slowly but surely the ghosts of Natures Coastal Holiday Festival of Lights began to take shape, and take their places.
After hours of meticulous staging and the stringing of millions of perfectly placed lights, while you were taking the Turkey out the oven Thanksgiving night, organizers flipped the switch and tested their final product.
On Friday night, November 24th at 5:00 pm, organizers will yell out “places everyone”, and the switch will be flipped on to begin this year’s production of Nature’s Coastal Holidays Festival of Lights.
If you think you’ve already seen it, you are in for a BIG surprise. Of course, you will see your favorites from the past, but this year features many new additions as well as some BIG upgrades to some older sentries. And if you are lucky, you may even run into “Elsa” from the movie “Frozen”.
The Festival of Lights at Azalea Park in Brookings will open for its first tours of the season Friday night, November 24th at 5:00 pm. This year the Festival of Lights will run through New Year’s Eve, Sunday, December 31st. Of course, the organizers take great pride in the park being open every night from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm unless severe weather conditions become a safety issue.
Santa has taken time out his busy schedule and has promised to review gift lists with the children on Friday and Saturday evening from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm December 15th and 16th and again on Saturday December 23rd and Christmas Eve, Sunday, December 24th for those youngsters who may need to make last minute changes or requests.
You can count on the traditional Hot Apple Cider, Cocoa and Cookies at the Snack Shack and the Capella By the Sea will open when possible.
Admission is $2.00 for Adults and teens and of course for those under 12 years old admission is FREE.
