Starlight Nights is Winter Haven’s newest Holiday tradition – a festival of lights celebrating the Holidays and the city’s wonderful Historic Downtown District.
Starlight Nights with 22,000 Lights
From December 1 through January 6 visitors can experience the magic of the Holiday’s with over 22,000 lights, extended shopping hours (Thursday – Saturday only), and food and drink specials! Downtown Winter Haven will be lit up from 5:30-10:00PM each night. Decorations will cover the Historic District, from US-17 to Lake Silver, and Central Avenue to 6th Street.
Thursday – Saturday, stores will extend their hours to 7:00 p.m.
No Holiday festival would be complete without Santa and other magical photo opportunities! In addition to the lights and special appearances, Downtown business owners will be creating magical window displays as part of a window decorating contest. You’ll even find selfie stations in the park.
