Trail of Lights (click here for Trail of Lights map)

Great Bend glows every year during the holidays and that secret has slipped out all over the United States. Great Bend's lights wind through town on busy streets and quiet cul de sacs and spill over into city parks, businesses, and residences. Amazingly, most of Great Bend's lights are designed and hand crafted by park deparment employees.

Twelve Days of Christmas. You can enjoy this lighted love letter in Veteran's Park. The swans are swimming, the drummers are drumming and the lords are most definitely leaping in this animated Christmas carol. Lights at the Lake also features Santa and his elves and lots of landscape lighting relected in the lack. This is a free, drive-through display.

Wild Lights. Brit Spaugh Park & Zoo is filled with animated light displays with an animal theme. Visitors love the sea serpent swimming in the lake, Santa riding a buffalo, the lighted arches and a dazzling display of dolphins. This is a free, drive-through display. Donations are welcome.

Lafayette Lights. Charming Jack Kilby Square on Main Street in Great Bend's downtown area glows during the holidays with snowflakes and elegant lighted arches. There is plenty of free parking and quaint shops.
