Lakewood Lights

About Lakewood Lights

Gather your friends, family and neighbors for this annual celebration! Join Lakewood Mayor and City Council for a lighting ceremony, then enjoy a stroll among the light displays, listen to festive live music and warm up with hot cocoa. Meet with jolly old Santa Claus or craft an ornament to commemorate this happy holiday.

Lights

Heritage Lakewood will be glowing with a spectacular display of holiday cheer. All of our buildings will be open to the public and decorated for the occasion.

Visits with Santa

Meet with the big guy himself! Santa will be setup in his workshop, located in the Heritage Lakewood Visitor Center from 3-9 p.m. Santa posing with children

Meet and greets are free and available on a first come, first serve basis. Please arrive at the beginning of the evening to reserve your place in the queue. We will take down your name and cell phone number and will text you when it's your turn to meet Santa!

Please note that Santa can visit with only so many kiddos in one night, so we will be taking names for the queue as long as both space and time permit. Based on past attendance, we anticipate to stop accepting new parties to the waitlist by 7:30 p.m.

Holiday Treats

Hot cocoa and cookies
Warm up with a holiday favorite snack of hot cocoa and cookies. Available for free in the diner.
Suggested donation: $1

Lighting Ceremony
