Bright Nights…Forest Park, Springfield…it’s about a 45 minute drive through the lit-for-Christmas park. Finish up the evening with a pancake supper at IHOP on RTE 5.

Thanks, I’ll look into it. I’m looking for something more like an outdoor festival with different things going on, hot chocolate, ice sculptures, music etc. I get that it won’t be the same as Holiday in the Park going on all month, but even if it was just for a weekend or something I’d definitely try to go.

I think the Southwick Zoo does something and so does Tower Hill Botanical Garden

I’ve been there a few times. Are they doing some sort of a Christmas theme?
