RICHMOND — A drive-through light display entitled Christmas Magic is coming to Richmond Park begnning at 5 p.m. Nov. 29.

This is the second year for the display, which will differ from last year’s, organizers noted.

The event is being spearheaded by Screwy Louie’s Party Rentals and the Richmond-based Festival in the Woods Committee, a nonprofit charity whose members are dedicated to improving their community for the present and the future.

The display will be open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, beginning Nov. 29-30. Additional dates will include Dec. 6-7, Dec. 13-14 and Dec. 20-21.

Festival in the Woods will be helping Santa make his way to Richmond in time for the village’s annual Christmas parade, scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Dec. 14. Vehicles will drive the loop at Richmond Park on Park Street between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on these dates.

Admission is by donation, with proceeds going to support the light display team and other local community groups.

The park’s newest shelterhouse will be home to vendors who will sell a variety of items throughout the event.

Visitors will have the opportunity to browse, shop and enjoy various foods and hot chocolate. Food vendors participating include Rubbin Butts BBQ and 740 BBQ. Spaces still remain available for those interested in being a vendor.

“There will be a maximum of 10 vendors per night,” stated Kim Richardson, Festival in the Woods president. Those interested in becoming a vendor can e-mail Richardson at festivalinthewoods@gmail.com.

“Last year was a great success,” she said of Christmas Magic, noting the sponsoring groups appreciate Richmond for allowing the use of its park to provide this service.

“We saw a lot of smiles, gave a lot of money back to groups in our community and started a new tradition for many families,” she said. “This is an awesome event where you get to indulge in the Christmas experience without dedicating an entire day.”
