"Get Lit" New Year's Eve Celebration

Details

This is your chance to see the floats and displays up close, because you can run, walk or ride our lighted trolley through Folepi's Winter Wonderland. Now in it's 19th year, Get Lit is a fun way to celebrate the new year with the traditional fun run/walk and new family activities. There will be no vehicular traffic in the Winter Wonderland during the event. Dogs are not allowed at the event.

Activities

There are new ways this year for families to celebrate the New Year at the Get Lit.

Bonfire

Warm up by the bonfire and enjoy campfire treats from 9 p.m. until midnight.

Trolley Rides

Ride the Festival of Lights lighted Trolley parade float through the Winter Wonderland from 9 until 9:45 p.m. and again after the completion of the run/walk until midnight.

Non-competitive Run/Walk

The Get Lit's traditional run/walk through the Winter Wonderland starts at 10 p.m. This is a fun way to "run" in the New Year!

All participants must remain on the main road through the Winter Wonderland due to the numerous guide wires that hold up the lighted displays.
