Lane of Lights Drive-Through Holiday Display at Eastwood Park

About this adventure

Nestled along the scenic Fishing River in Excelsior Springs, the Lane of Lights at Eastwood Park has welcomed families for more than 30 years. This charming drive-through holiday light tour extends for nearly a mile along the paved park road beneath towering canopies of riverfront trees. Every vibrant holiday display along the route is lovingly designed, built, and sponsored by local civic organizations, school clubs, non-profits, and volunteer families. Sights include radiant illuminated tunnels, animated swimming fish and leaping deer, playful Santa workshops, nativity scenes, and vintage cartoon characters. Families enjoy the display from the comfort of their heated cars while listening to holiday tunes on the radio, with all voluntary gate donations distributed to local youth and community programs.
