The experience is one that has established itself as one of the top-rated light displays in Pennsylvania and an ongoing tradition for many families every year in Blair County and beyond! Popular favorites such as the Avenue of Trees and Tunnel of Lights are accompanied by over 150 displays each year.
“We are elated to partner with the Altoona Curve to bring this magical event to the community,” said Lakemont Park GM Christi Draves. “They will be assisting us with sponsorships, setup, and various operational aspects within the event.”
Following a ride through the lights, patrons may stop into Santa’s Village for delicious snacks, gifts, and even a visit with Santa on select evenings! The Alto Model Train Museum Association will once again bring back its model train exhibit, which is free to visit and located in Santa’s Village.
