FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
The Festival of Lights in Rose Tree Park has been a treasured Delaware County tradition for over fifty years. The annual lights display is open to the public nightly, drawing about 100,000 visitors every year. The month-long program provides families, friends, and sweethearts with a perfect opportunity to enjoy Rose Tree Park after dark, and we invite everyone to take a walk in our winter wonderland, with over 300,000 twinkling lights in the trees and many fun, festive displays throughout the landscape.
