We love all the great holiday light shows in Minnesota, but they’re even better when they are free AND they try to raise donations for a worth cause, like this one in greater Minnesota! 

At Willmar's Celebrate the Light of the World, a large Christmas tree decorated with colorful lights stands by a light display reading "Celebrate The Light" in the foreground. The scene is set in a dark outdoor area.

Celebrate the Light of the World kicks off Thanksgiving night at Robbins Island Regional Park in Willmar. It features more than 800,000 lights and runs from 5 – 10 pm nightly through December 31.

This is a completely drive thru display, and you are asked to drive carefully and be aware of traffic. There are areas where you can park and enjoy the dancing lights for a little longer period of time (still inside your vehicle).

Outdoor Christmas display at night at Willmar Celebrate the Light of the World with illuminated "Merry Christmas" sign in red lights. Surrounding trees and decorations are adorned with various colorful lights, creating a festive ambiance.

They do accept donations to support four community organizations including the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, the Kandiyohi County Food Shelf, and United Way. Make your donation near the Koosman Chapel as you exit the display.
