WABASH, IN- The City of Wabash, in partnership with the Wabash County Museum, announce the date for the second annual Lights at Paradise holiday event on December 17 from 5 to 8 PM and is free and open to the public. The Lights at Paradise light display opens to the public on November 18 and can be enjoyed through January 8.
Lights at Paradise is an initiative started by Mayor Scott Long and the City of Wabash as an opportunity to bring some holiday magic right to your backyard. “Lights in Paradise will transform Paradise Spring Historical Park into a place where I hope to see families and friends take a holiday stroll together,” said Mayor Scott Long. “I am grateful for the vision and volunteers who continue to build upon this event.”
Lights at Paradise complements existing events like Jingle Jubilee and December First Friday. This event is a fantastic opportunity to enhance the downtown Cultural District and create more opportunities for families and friends to gather for free during the festive holidays.
“I have always imagined Paradise Spring Historical Park lit up during the Christmas Season,” said Mayor Scott Long. “The paved walkways, log cabins, and landscaping are enjoyed by citizens and visitors heavily in the warmer months. Adding lights and a festive feel will encourage the use of the historic property throughout the holidays and colder months.”
The Lights at Paradise Committee is grateful to all of the sponsors who helped this dream of Mayor Long’s come alive for the community to enjoy.
