LELAND — Leland’s Founders Park will become Leland in Lights starting Saturday, Dec. 3, and remain open through Jan. 3.
The park features large motion displays, including singing Christmas trees, snowmen playing baseball, two children having a snowball fight, even Old Man Winter blowing cold weather to the South. Santa shows up a few times and his reindeer also make an appearance among thousands of “dripping” lights and ornaments. The Candy Cane Forest is a hot spot, as are all the cutout light displays for photo-ops.
On Dec. 3, 9, 16 and 17, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Leland Express will take passengers around Founders Park, while on Dec. 10 the “Polar Express” will be screened for free in the park after dusk.
Opening night, Dec. 3, also will have Dixieland Kettle Corn Company, Cheez Boss, and Brown Dog Coffee Company serving food and beverages. As well, the Leland Fire/Rescue and the Leland Police Department will accept canned goods to donate to Brunswick Family Assistance.
Leland in Lights is free and starts at dusk every evening at 113 Town Hall Drive.
