Sneak Preview of Christmas at Panther Creek Park 2021

We're just a week and a half away from Thanksgiving Weekend and that means we're getting closer and closer to opening night of Christmas at Panther Creek Park here in Daviess County. The incredibly festive holiday display, presented by Daviess County Fiscal Court, officially opens for the season on Black Friday, November 26th.

In addition to beautiful Christmas lights and displays, this year's Christmas at Panther Creek Park will also feature a really fun scavenger hunt and a "community" night with FREE admission.

First, if you've never had the chance to drive thru Christmas at Panther Creek, here's a sneak preview for you! This was the "behind-the-scenes" look Daviess County Parks shared last year.

Hoping in the car and heading to see Christmas lights is a holiday tradition many families enjoy. Make sure to add Twinkle at the Track to your Christmas road trip.

You don't even have to get out of the car to view all the giant light displays. There are over 25 different light displays and over two miles of track to cruising.

The classic Christmas film is set in fictional Hohman, Indiana (which doubled for Hammond) but was filmed in Cleveland. The tour was a blast. Hey, I love visiting movie sets.
