It’s just tremendous.”

This year’s “Fantasy Winter Fairyland” theme transforms 14 acres of the area park favorite into one of the largest immersive walk-through light festivals in the United States. Chinese Consulate General Deputy Director De Li said, “It’s not just a light show. It’s a celebration of art, culture, and creativity.”

This year’s attractions include the “Castle in the Sky,” a spectacular fifty-foot light sculpture that ranks among the tallest in North America. “Just stay right here to see the best holiday lights show on Long Island,” said Jennifer DeSena, Town Supervisor of North Hempstead. “It has gotten bigger and better every year.”
