What is “Light Up the Wild”?


Moss Park is holding their 1st annual event with a holiday display of lights to drive through!  The drive is offered nightly from 6-every night from Thurs Dec 19th – Monday Dec 23rd.  Cost is regular admission fee of $5 per car.  It’s truly an incredible display of lights!!
