✨ Big News from the Western Maryland Jaycees! ✨

Formerly known as Lights on the Lake, the event will now be called Lights by the Mountainside and will take place at the Allegany County Fairgrounds. This move comes as Rocky Gap State Park undergoes upgrades, and we’re so grateful to Allegany County Government for providing a new home that gives us room to grow and bring even more holiday magic to our community.

📍 Location: Allegany County Fairgrounds
📅 Open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through December 28, 2025

This year brings exciting opportunities for local businesses, organizations, and individuals to design and build light displays—helping us create something truly special together.
