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. ## Similar picks in Indianapolis - [Gaylor Electric Forest of Lights at Forest Park](https://grassyknees.com/indianapolis/activities/gaylor-electric-forest-of-lights-at-forest-park--listing-40d1ce0e9656009d030b28c1) — Nov 27 – Dec 31 · 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM · Forest Park, Noblesville · Free · checked Oct 27.
