Kingsville Fantasy of Lights

The Fantasy of Lights Festival runs from Saturday, November 21, 2026 to the first week of January 2027.

Take a ride on the Kingsville Express to tour the light displays, and sip hot chocolate. The Kingsville Express is run by volunteers and requires good weather conditions to operate. Train rides will run from November 27, 2026 to December 20, 2026, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm at Lakeside Park. To help offset the cost of the event, Kingsville Express train rides cost $2 per person, $5 per family of four, or by donation.

Hot chocolate and cookies are available by donation. On select evenings, live musical entertainment will be featured inside the Lakeside Park Pavilion from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Check out the Fantasy of Lights displays at Lakeside Park and Cottam Rotary Park from November 21, 2026 to the first week of January.

Paws and Claus will be held on Tuesday, December 1, 2026 at Lakeside Park Pavilion, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. Bring your pet and camera to have a photo taken with Santa Claus! Donations are welcomed to help offset the cost of the Fantasy of Lights events. There will be pet-friendly vendors on site.
