We’re thrilled to welcome Five Seasons Lights back to McGrath Amphitheatre this holiday season! 🎄✨ More than just a dazzling light show, it’s a celebration of community, holiday spirit, and giving back. We’re especially excited to once again partner with local non-profits to raise funds and make a meaningful impact throughout the season.

Five Seasons Lights, a magical walk-through holiday lights display, will return to the McGrath Amphitheatre on December 5th to run until December 28th. VenuWorks is excited to once again work with area nonprofits during this event. ✨ Earlier this year, our Executive Director Darren Stearns proudly presented a check to the —just one of the many nonprofits that raised funds during the 2024 Five Seasons Lights!

🎄 This magical walk-through holiday lights display returns to the McGrath Amphitheatre December 5–28, and VenuWorks is excited to partner with even more local nonprofits.
