ROANOKE, Va. – Illuminights kicks off the holiday season by returning to Explore Park this weekend. You can brighten your nights by exploring a dazzling world of over 600,000 lights. The winter walk of lights takes you down a half-mile wooded path filled with the sights and sounds of the season.
Visitors can experience 100,000 new lights, displays, trail enhancements and family activities.
“You will notice when you enter Illuminights this year, we have our new snow arch entrance... you will be able to see some new RGB light displays. Like a fountain that we have, and some new music displays as well,” said Alex North, the marketing and administrative coordinator for Roanoke County Parks said.
