Shady Hills — The 2022 Celebration of Lights at The Concourse was produced and managed by the 2022 Celebration of Lights at The Concourse Board of Directors. The event was brought to you by our partners at Pasco Safety Town, Pasco County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources, West Pasco Sertoma and Grand Concourse Railroad. Over 25 businesses and community members sponsored lights, helping to make this event a success for our community. The event welcomed thousands of cars and their riders with over a mile and half of light displays upon the route.
Santa Clause was on site every weekend for a photo opportunity. Grand Concourse Railroad Holiday Train Tickets were 1/2 off for a ride to Pasco Safety Town where you had an opportunity to walk through the enchanted mini town snow globe adorned with festive lights. Then you could take a return train ride back to your vehicle to drive through mile and a half of beautiful larger than life light displays.
Proceeds from the 2022 event went to support Pasco Safety Town, Pasco County Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Summer Camp Scholarship, West Pasco Sertoma, Pasco Sheriff’s Office Explorers Post 916 and Pasco Sheriff’s Office Citizen Support Unit.
This community event was founded by Dave Parris, who passed away in 2015. He fashioned this holiday light show after the one in his hometown, with hopes young families would create memories and someday bring their grandchildren.
About us:
Since acquiring the event 3 years ago, The Celebration of Lights at The Concourse has received our own 501C3 status. The COL Board of Directors has steadily been refurbishing the existing lights, upgrading to LED lights, welding and rewiring! A permanent storage building to house the lights has now been built on the property. We look forward to continuing to partner with the community to grow this event for all to enjoy!
