While Lincoln Parish Park is an enchanting and beautiful destination year-round, it truly shines during the holiday season for Lincoln Lights Up the Pines, the park’s annual drive-through holiday light display.
This dazzling display turns the woods of Lincoln Parish Park into a winter wonderland of twinkling lights. This year’s Lincoln Lights up the Pines — the 11th annual — takes place on December 4-6 and December 11-13 from 5:30-9 p.m. each night, offering two weekends to experience the 3-mile long, stunning display.
Admission is only $10 per car and $20 per bus for a drive through the sparkling pines of Lincoln Parish Park.
The idea for the annual display came from a vintage camping group that had visited a similar trail of lights in Tyler, Texas, more than a decade ago and thought it would be a great idea to bring something like that to Lincoln Parish.
It has become an annual favorite for folks in Lincoln Parish and the surrounding areas as families pile into their cars, pack thermoses full of hot chocolate, tune the radio to holiday music, and enjoy the magic of the season from the warmth and comfort of their vehicles.
A feature that makes this cherished community event truly special is the participation of local businesses that decorate and join in the festivities. Adding to the magic, vintage camper owners set up their holiday themed trailers, which is the true highlight of the event. This blend of local support, holiday lights, and charming retro campers makes Lincoln Lights Up the Pines a one-of-a-kind experience that showcases the warmth and creativity of our community.
A special thank you to JTB Rentals, this year’s Lincoln Lights Up the Piney title sponsor. The event also wouldn’t be possible without support from the Lincoln Parish Police Jury, HiTech, all the participating local businesses, and the Lincoln Lights Up the Pines planning committee.
Don’t miss out on an opportunity to get into the Christmas spirit at the 11th annual Light Up the Pines on Dec. 4-6 and Dec. 11-13 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at Lincoln Parish Park.
