The event welcomes visitors to experience a self-guided evening driving tour of seasonal lights throughout Presque Isle State Park from the comfort and safety of their vehicles. Visitors will follow the park’s full 13-mile loop road encountering along the way a variety of lights and displays coupled with the natural beauty offered by Presque Isle after dark.
What areas of the park will be lit?
Presque Isle Partnership is committed to sustainability. LED lights, which consume 90% less energy than incandescent lights of the past, will be used throughout the park. Solar generators will be utilized to power certain areas without electrical utilities such as the park entrance, Leo’s Landing, Thompson Circle, and Sunset Point.
