Promotional Schedule for Illumination at Jefferson Park Announced!

Allentown, Pennsylvania (October 22, 2026) – The Lehigh Valley IronPigs are excited to announce the promotional calendar for Illumination at Jefferson Park, running from November 13th, 2026 thru January 2nd, 2027, presented by Service Electric.

The 41-night event will take place nightly from 6-9pm (5-9pm on Nov. 21, 27, 28 & Dec. 5,12,19) and will now feature nearly TWO MILLION holiday lights. Every 15-20 minutes, a dazzling synchronized music and light show will take place featuring a breathtaking display where the stadium lights come alive in harmony with the holiday music.

In addition to the lights, the IronPigs have a full slate of promotions, theme nights, giveaways and more lined up for the entire holiday season. The preliminary promotions calendar for Illumination is listed below. All promotions and dates are subject to change.

This year features SEVEN Lights & Leashes nights, SIX Camel appearances, THREE Goat Snuggling nights, and SEVEN different giveaway nights!

All your favorite Illumination attractions, amusements, and characters are back. Also returning for their second year are the traditional Carousel Ride and our famous Hayride with Mrs. Claus. For those with a competitive side, or even those looking for a truly unique experience, curling lanes are back and are available for rent.

In addition to Santa, Mrs. Claus, Elsa, Cousin Eddy and the Grinch, new characters have been added to Illumination this year including: Flicker the Elf, a serenading Dickens Caroler, the Sugar Plum Fairy, Toy Soldier, and Jack Frost himself! Plus, Flicker the Elf will be distributing free books to children attending nightly.

Guests will still be able to roast s'mores at fire pits located around the ballpark concourse and enjoy special holiday food creations and winter cocktails. 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 Holiday Marketplace to holiday shop or visit the heated Winter Oasis bar for a holiday cocktail, hot toddy or any of our seasonal specials. The popular Scavenger Hunt also returns as well as the sELFie Trail with new scenes and backdrops. Holiday Hall, Illumination’s large heated dining tent with new nightly entertainment, returns for 2026 as well.

Tickets for Illumination are on sale now and may be purchased at IlluminationLV.com. Ticket prices for 2026 remain the same as the prior two seasons. Pre-purchased admission is $11 for select November Illumination dates (Nov 13, 14, 15, 25 & 26) and $13 for all other Illumination dates. Tickets purchased during the same day for that night’s show are $2 additional. A limited number of tickets are available for each Illumination event – advance purchases are encouraged.
