It’s important to note that, aside from our gorgeous downtown Christmas displays, there are multiple Christmas-light-embellished winter wonderlands across the greater Owensboro area. And even better, they should all be on your list to visit this holiday season!
Christmas at Panther Creek
On the west end of town, Christmas at Panther Creek Park features more than 700,000 lights and 50 lighted displays that bring all the merry magic to you and your family. You don’t even have to get out of the car for this one as the endeavor includes a 1.25-mile drive-thru journey through the lighted park. The cost is only $5/vehicle, and the proceeds go toward a philanthropic cause each year. Christmas at Panther Creek will run nightly from 6-9 p.m. until January 1. Panther Creek Park is located at 5160 Wayne Bridge Road.
Holiday in the Park–Legion Park
In the heart of the city, head to Legion Park for its annual Holiday in the Park light display! You can park your car and stretch your legs for this one, as the lighted displays are set up all around a large walking path that encircles the park. There is no cost to see these lights, and they will be available to the public each night through January 1.
Christmas at Stonegate
Perhaps the most famous of all the lighted displays in town, Christmas at Stonegate is a spectacle to see as one house in particular goes all the way out to create an enormous Christmas lights display for everyone to see! Located at 4567 Indian Creek Loop, this house shines extra bright, but you’ll also see dozens of other homes in the neighborhood lit up for the holidays. The cost to enter is free, but they do take donations at the entrance. The lights can be viewed nightly through December 26.
Griffith Avenue
This street is one coated in classic Christmas beauty as some of the most beautiful homes in Owensboro light up for the holidays. Located right in the center of the city, take a drive and turn on the holiday tunes as you take in tons of custom-made decorations, white lights in the trees and red, velvet ribbons adorning the front porches.
