Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my dog?
Yes. Four-legged visitors come out to see the lights on many nights, and all are welcome.
Will Santa be there?
Santa visits when he's available and has greeted visitors at the gate before. The group says he wants to come back in 2026 and will share news when they know.
What's new this year?
The hours changed for 2026, and the display now opens every day of the season. Opening day lines up with Victorian Holidays in downtown Lebanon.
Who puts on the display?
A small all-volunteer group called LWW runs it, with help from friends who set up the props, wire them, staff the Greeters' Hut and take it all down. Nobody is paid, so every donation goes back into the display.
How can I get involved?
The group welcomes new members. It meets on the third Thursday of each month, January through September, in the Lebanon Fire Department Training Room. From October through December, the members work in the park.
