The Grotto Festival of Lights Editorial Review

In Short
Go for the caroling, light displays and petting zoo, or just go for a bit of peaceful celebration. More than 140 concerts will be performed by regional schools, churches and civic choral groups. Concerts are presented hourly each night in the Grotto's 600-seat chapel. Volunteers and staff begin working on the festival in early October, installing lights, displays and entertainment areas. The finished presentation features nearly half a million lights in an ecumenical display of holiday joy.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I was so amazed when I saw this for the first time. It is just too good for words. Plus you have to check out their website and see one of the concerts in the Church. There is a lady who was there last year and she will be there this year on the 25th at 6PM. Her name escapes me at the moment. But, WOW, what a voice, she is worth the price of admission alone. But the place is transformed into a beautiful place to walk through and just take your time and don't rush. I have friends coming again this year from out of the country just so they can come see the festival of lights again this year.

  • Pros: A beautiful setting to get into the Holiday spirit.
  • Cons: The food and drink that was available last year was nothing to write home about.
