Confirmed from Christmas Lights Of Charlestown's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Festive park featuring Christmas lights synced to music, a train ride and an ice rink, for a fee.
What runners say about Christmas Lights Of Charlestown
“The music is amazing and the light were synchronizing with the music and were all beautiful!”
This was such a nice surprise. We didn't know what to expect but the square had a great Christmas light show synced to music. The music was piped in through the radio, so you could sit in your car and watch it. The park was great too.
Great display! Be sure to park and walk through Greenway Park. So sad that COVID made it so the horse carriage and train weren't able to operate. We look forward to this being an annual, family tradition!
Super cute. Lots of different programs and patterns of lights. You can park or walk thru. Great!
