Ritzy's Fantasy Of Lights

Celebrating 30 years

November 5, 2023

The 30th annual Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights continues an exciting holiday tradition for the Tri-State community! Garvin Park will be transformed into a “fantasyland” with more than 80+ spectacular light displays up to 25 feet tall, many of which are animated, including flying reindeer, dancing bears, a waving Santa, and more! New in 2023, Andy, Elf in the Park, is here for you to find somewhere in the park. He will be changing locations throughout the season so you’ll want to come back for another hunt to find him on your next trip. Your efforts will be rewarded by entering our contest to find Andy. Please see our separate page for Andy for more details. In the meantime, keep your eyes open and start looking for this festive and mischievous elf. You just never know where he’s going to show up next!

We’ve added a second ticket booth this year to make our visitors enter the event more quickly. Along with our sponsor, Home Depot, who provided all building materials, and the hard work of a very talented Easterseal’s supporter, Stan Wheeler, who built both booths, we’ve decorated each with a holiday toy. Our admission gate personnel may try and play the drum or throw the ball, but they’ll be just as happy greeting you on your drive to see the more than 80 displays in this year’s Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights.
