Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool has been lit up with Christmas lights for 21 years. There are more than 200 displays stretching across about two miles.

“I had never seen it before I started working here. It’s amazing the different ages who come back year after year that enjoy it, that bring their kids, they used to come as kids. Just seeing the faces, people smiling, and just seeing all the hard work that pays off,” said Debbie Burne, Onondaga Lake Park's Senior Recreation Leader.

It's normally a drive through show, but for six years, Lights on the Lake has been started with a night for walking through it.

“We come out to lights on the lake because it’s something the kids like to do and it’s a nice family outing. It’s just a nice way to start the holiday season," said Lisa Adams.

It’s open for cars nightly from five to 10 until January ninth. Monday through Thursday it’s eight dollars per vehicle and Friday through Sunday it’s 12 dollars. It only costs six dollars Monday and Tuesdays if you have your Wegmans shopper’s club card.
