WinterLights
Enjoy over 100 colourful holiday displays at St. Marys WinterLights! Located at Milt Dunnell Field, this must-see festive experience is one that everyone can enjoy as you can choose to either walk or enjoy the displays by car.
WinterLights begins in mid-November and stays illuminated until January 2, 2022! The displays are lit each evening from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. WinterLights would not be possible without all of it's generous sponsors. Be sure to stop by these local businesses while you're in town and support them, or see below how you can donate to support these exciting experiences.
