Shelbyville Festival of Lights

East North 9th Street, Shelbyville, IL 62565

The holiday season is celebrated with light displays in Forest Park.

Come to Shelbyville and take a drive through Forest Park as it is lit up for the Holiday season. These lights are put in place each year by volunteers and new lights and themed areas are also added. Candy Cane lane is to honor loved ones. Come enjoy the Circus, North Pole, Victorian Village, Santa's Shop, Bethlehem, and others. All displays are painted and taped to match the light colors to make them even brighter with the LED lights. The Historic Chautauqua Auditorium Building comes alive as a carousel.
