The largest holiday light show in New England will shine again this year in the largest park in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Bright Nights, the three-mile drive-through Forest Park that features holiday and storybook-themed displays made of up more than 600,000 lights, will begin its 23rd season on Thanksgiving eve.
Judy Matt, president of Spirit of Springfield, the nonprofit producer of the event, says changes this year include the re-bulbing of one display with 10,000 LED lights.
" And when you enter the park there is the American flag and we've added exploding fireworks to the back of it, so it is dramatic, very dramatic," said Matt.
Last year, 200,000 people toured Bright Nights in cars and buses.
