Fantasy of Lights

For 17 years, the Fantasy of Lights has illuminated Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven. Over the years, it has become holiday tradition for thousands of families throughout the state of Connecticut. This dazzling light display will delight visitors young and old from November 18th - January 7th. 

This year features two brand new displays: a Nativity Scene and a Santa with Fire Dog.

Nativity Scene sponsored by Knights of Columbus Santa with Fire Dog

We are also happy to announce that 14 of our displays have gone green with LED lightbulbs! These durable bulbs not only save energy, they also allow the Fantasy of Lights to be brighter and more colorful! Check out the difference!
