WEST MONROE – The City of West Monroe and the Kiroli Foundation have announced plans for this year’s Christmas at Kiroli festivities, which will kick off on Friday, November 26. Thousands of Christmas lights will be on display in Kiroli Park to add holiday magic to this year’s Christmas season. Christmas at Kiroli is sponsored by Plunk’s Wrecker Service and a generous grant from Discover Monroe-West Monroe.
New to this year’s Christmas at Kiroli festivities will be a drive-through Christmas lights display that will be open to the public, beginning on Friday, November 26 through Christmas Day.
The drive-through Christmas lights display will be open every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from November 26 to Christmas Day from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Admission for the drive-through lights display is $10 per vehicle or $20 per commercial vehicle. A seasonal pass is available for $25. Attendees are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance online at www.christmasatkiroli.com. Cash only will be accepted at the gatehouse.
A special Christmas at Kiroli weekend celebration will be held on Saturday, December 18 and Sunday, December 19 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. The two-day holiday celebration will include visits with Santa, food trucks, live entertainment and special guests. Regular park admission will be charged.
“We are so excited to present Christmas at Kiroli to the public,” said Parks and Recreation Director Stuart Hodnett. “Many people have fond memories of when Christmas lights were at Kiroli Park several years ago. We have had multiple requests throughout the years to bring the Christmas lights back. Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, we are pleased to add more holiday magic to our community.”
