Annual holiday tradition brings light displays

Get ready for a holiday tradition filled with thousands of twinkling lights, festive displays and a visit from Santa! The Greentown Lions Club Christmas Lights returns to the Howard County Fairgrounds Nov. 27 through Dec. 25, 2026, bringing holiday cheer to Greentown with more than 250 illuminated displays.

Organized by the Greentown Lions Club, this annual event transforms the fairgrounds into a colorful Christmas wonderland. Visitors will find lighted displays throughout the grounds, including decorations adorning the historic buildings of Pioneer Village. Some displays even come from the former We Care Park, preserving a piece of Howard County's holiday history.

One of the highlights is the chance to visit Santa inside the fairgrounds' iconic round barn. Families can stop in to share their Christmas wishes and enjoy free cookies and hot chocolate.

Visitors can take in the lights from the comfort of their vehicles or park and explore the decorated grounds on foot. A stroll through Pioneer Village offers an opportunity to enjoy the illuminated historic buildings up close.

Best of all, admission is free! Donations are welcome and help support the Greentown Lions Club's community efforts, including programs such as Christmas food baskets.
