Lanesboro Legion Lights

Lanesboro Legion Lights Transforms the park into a winter wonderland! We are seeking the support of local businesses and individuals to make this dream a reality.

The Lanesboro Legion Lights is an outdoor holiday lights display at Sylvan Park in Lanesboro, MN on every night from 5:00-11:00 pm Thanksgiving through New Years. Lanesboro, known for its quaint charm and vibrant community spirit, has the opportunity to become a beacon of holiday cheer in Southeastern Minnesota with the introduction of Legion Lights, an outdoor city holiday light display at Sylvan

Park from Thanksgiving through New Year’s. This initiative will not only illuminate our park but also boost local commerce and strengthen our community bonds. We are proud to have the Henry M. Guttormson Post #40 American Legion of Lanesboro as our esteemed naming sponsor, whose involvement underscores the value, commitment to our community and high standards of our initiative. Their support has significantly elevated our project's profile, and we are eager to collaborate with additional partners who share our vision and for this holiday lights display to help bring our community together during the holiday season to have this become a focal point for our community gatherings during this time fostering connection and camaraderie among residents. Vision
Legion Lights aims to create a spectacular holiday light display with some special events on the weekends that will:
• Transform Sylvan Park in Lanesboro into a winter wonderland.
• Attract visitors from neighboring towns and cities.
• Provide a festive, family-friendly attraction for residents.
• Encourage local shopping and dining during the holiday season. How You Can Help

✨ Taking care of business for Legion Lights ✨

Behind the scenes, plans are already underway for the season ahead in Sylvan Park 💡🌲

This morning our executive committee spent some time mapping out what’s next… and also looking a little bigger at something that means a lot to this community ❤️

We’re not ready to share just yet… but it’s something close to home for many of us.

Stay tuned.

We’re getting ready for our first official Legion Lights meeting later this month 🎄

We had a great response earlier this year when we asked for volunteers, and we’d love to build our team even a little more as we head into this year.

Right now, we’re especially looking for help with:
✨ Marketing
✨ Fundraising

But if you’re interested in being involved in any way, we’d love to have you.

This is a great way to be part of Legion Lights behind the scenes (no working out in the cold required 😊)

Legion Lights is still pretty new, but it’s already become something really special to so many of us, and we’re excited to keep building on it.
