Festival of Lights Beginning November 19, 2011 through January 1, 2012, Tanglewood’s rolling countryside will be transformed into a winter wonderland of giant snowflakes and whimsical scenes! Entering our 20th season, Tanglewood’s Festival of Lights continues to be one of the largest and most spectacular light shows in the entire southeast.

This year, we have added more display scenes, as well as change out most of our existing bulbs to brighter LED lights for your enjoyment. We are so excited for you to join us this year in celebration of our 20th anniversary! From storybook scenes to Holiday themes, over one hundred displays and over a million lights fill Tanglewood Park with the entire splendor and joy of the Holiday season.
