About this adventure

Friends of Mounds State Park hosts Nights of Lights on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings in the park at Anderson. Visitors drive or walk the holiday light route the friends group decorates with volunteer campsite displays. The 2026 page sets the run from November 27 through December 27, 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., and prints the admission as only $10 per vehicle. That span includes the Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through December 27, and the page does not list a Christmas closure. Sponsorship and decorator sign-up are separate from a family visit; the campsite reservation for decorators is described as free, which is not the visitor vehicle fee. The friends group gives an email for sponsor and decorator questions and prints a phone number and the park street address in the footer. This is a Madison County light display inside the metro, organized by the friends group rather than a private-home show.
