Holiday Lights at the Lake


  • Holiday Lights at the Lake West Overlook Road Northeast Iowa City, IA United States (map)

Holiday Lights at the Lake was established as a community event in 2021 with the hope of becoming the legacy fundraising event for The Bird House, Hospice Home of Johnson County.

Make Holiday Lights at the Lake your favorite holiday tradition as you drive or walk through West Overlook Campground. This third annual community event boasts just over one mile of large and animated light displays, including a dazzling animated tunnel and many glittering arches and holiday characters.

Curated by our volunteer committee with the help of a professional lighting company, Winterland Inc., the picturesque setting of West Overlook Campground is transformed into a winter playland. Watch as polar bears dance through Santa's ranch. Delight at our giant poinsettia pot and forest, cheer on your favorite sports, and watch the campground characters sled, chase , and play.

Open nightly, Starting Thanksgiving night and ending New Years Eve. Tickets required. Click below!
