ROTARY LIGHTS IN RIVERSIDE PARK
Written by Ballzer on December 20, 2021
Enjoy the beautiful and magical holiday tradition of Rotary Lights, going on now through New Year’s Eve. Walk through, take a carriage or helicopter ride, or drive through, to see millions of lights in Riverside Park. It’s completely free, however, monetary donations or non-perishable food items are encouraged.
The Rotary Lights, in La Crosse, WI, began in 1995 and has grown into something truly amazing for the Coulee Region and visitors from across the country! “Rotary Lights is an annual gift to the Coulee Region as a cooperative effort among the area’s Rotary Clubs, numerous other non-profit groups and volunteer organizations, sponsors, and last but not least – the amazing individuals that make up our Steering Committee and Board.”
The recent winter storm unfortunately caused a lot of damage to the lights display, and this past October they were burglarized as well; however, Rotary Lights has such an amazing group of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to get everything back up and running for all to enjoy! Also, special thanks to all who donated to help repair the damage and losses. We truly have an incredible community.
In addition to the beautiful display of lights, there is live entertainment, live reindeer, Santa, hot cocoa, and more! Get the complete schedule of events here!
