Fantasy Lights entrance

Pierce County Parks and Recreation is pleased to present the 15th annual 'Fantasy Lights at Spanaway Park' the largest holiday drive-through display in the Northwest, featuring nearly 300 elaborate displays and thousands of sparkling lights. The beautiful two-mile drive along Spanaway Lake has become a memorable lakeside tradition for the entire family.

Visitors of all ages will be treated to the magical world of animation and imagination. See bears flying kites, snowboys kicking fieldgoals, penguins sliding down an igloo, Santa sailing a ship, frogs jumping on lilly pads, and reindeer leaping over your car. You will marvel at the 'Land of Dinosaurs' attraction this year along with many new additions.

As you drive, dial your car radio to FM 93.7 to elisten to a selection of special holiday music performed by a local high school to add to the festive atmosphere of the park.
