This week we have:
A Lancaster Christmas light display map and guide

Featured Story - Lancaster Christmas Light Displays
We put together a map of free residential Christmas light displays. This year, instead of aimlessly wandering through random neighborhoods hoping to see some lights, you can make that drive a little more merry and bright.
The Weekend Preview
Here are a few events for this weekend. Want to add your event to this list? Send us an email to list your event for free!
✅ Something free
Life-Size Candy Land - December 5 @ 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm. The Lancaster Library says you can journey to the Peppermint Forest, over the Gumdrop Mountains, and escape the Chocolate Swamp. I don’t know how this works, but if it’s half as good as Candy Land, then I’m in!

Christmas in the Park: Lititz Springs Park - December 5 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm This annual event features local performers, a carol sing with candle lighting, and the lighting of the Community Christmas Tree. Food vendors and restrooms on site.
✅ Something for date night
Elf at Fulton Theatre - December 4th-28th. The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
