Light Up Middletown

About Light Up Middletown

Light Up Middletown is a drive-through fantasy light display in Smith Park where visitors navigate their vehicles through grounds illuminated with more than a million lights strung in trees and over a hundred display pieces arranged throughout the park. The all-volunteer operation, led by the Grandpa Gang with support from volunteers at Cleveland Cliffs, creates elaborate themed scenes and installations that change year to year. Gate greeters welcome each vehicle at the entrance, providing information about nearby attractions and local business coupons. The display operates during evening hours in all weather conditions and on holidays. Admission works by cash donation, allowing visitors to set their own price. The attraction suits families and groups seeking a nighttime outing that requires no leaving the car. Light Up Middletown is located in Middletown, Ohio.
