The Lights are On!
Each and every year Oglebay holds their Winter Festival of Lights – a beautiful display of Christmas lights stretching over a six-mile span and featuring 89 lighted attractions. I can say from experience that is it truly a sight to see and a must see if you are in the area around the holidays.
The History
The tradition began in 1986. Since then it has grown into
one of the largest light shows in the country, attracting more than a million
visitors each year! The festival has become national recognized from
publications and travel expert website.
Festival Attractions
New to the collections this year includes a Christmas
Chameleon, made up of 450 lights that change right before your eyes! The
Chameleon structure was inspired by the Chameleons at the Oglebay Good Zoo. If
that wasn’t enough, we are also rolling out a 24 foot tall Kaleidoscope
Christmas Tree displaying 1,800 lights.
Festival Favorites
Favorites and long-time festival fixtures include our
Rainbow Tunnels, Dinosaurs, Disney characters, Snoopy and friends and Willard
the Snowman!

Don’t forget to stop by and see our Garden of Lights and
Nativity Display. Perfect for our littlest holiday visitors. As you walk
