Allentown, Pennsylvania (July 24, 2024) – The Lehigh Valley IronPigs are ecstatic to announce a magical new holiday tradition: Illumination, a vibrant outdoor walk-thru holiday lights experience!
Presented by Service Electric, Illumination will begin on November 15th and will run until January 4th, 2025. The 44-night event will take place nightly from 6-9pm and feature over

Children will have the opportunity to meet and have their photos taken with Santa and Elsa. In addition, kids can write letters to Santa, participate in coloring games and visit Santa’s Workshop. Kids can also ride Santa's Polar Express train or visit the playground while adults visit our Christmas Vendor Village to holiday shop or visit the heated Winter Oasis bar for a holiday cocktail, hot toddy or any of our seasonal specials.
Coca-Cola Park will also have numerous areas available for groups, families and companies of any size to celebrate the holidays together including on-field heated Igloos, Nutcracker Suites (heated indoor suites), the PNC Club and more! Featuring a holiday-themed menu, guests can enjoy an indoor all-you-can-eat buffet and enjoy touring the holiday lights and activities on the same night.
