Lake of the Ozarks Area Holiday Light Parks

St. Patrick's Festival of Lights - Enchanted Village of Lights - Unity Circle of Lights

St. Patrick's Festival of Lights

One of the Lake’s longest running drive-through Christmas displays celebrates 29 years when the lights come on Thanksgiving evening.

The Festival of Lights at the Shrine of St. Patrick, Hwy 5, Laurie, is the oldest light park in the area.  It was started in 1981 with hundreds of lights decorating the buildings and grounds and has continued to grow each year. With 4,000 strings of lights, over 60 automatic timers and more than 350 extension cords, the Festival of Lights has turned into one of the major places to see. Instead of animated displays, the focus is on the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus and His Mother, Mary..

St. Patrick Festival of Lights will be open daily from 6 – 10 p.m. from Thanksgiving through January 1st. There is no charge for this beautiful light display, it is simply our gift to the community.
