LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) -- Iroquois Park is offering a new holiday event, a lot like the Jack O’ Lantern Spectacular, called Winter Woods Spectacular.

The family event starts on November 30 and lasts until December 31. A part of the park will be turned into a winter wonderland and event goers will enjoy a ½ mile drive of lighting and artistry that celebrates the holidays.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Louisville Parks Foundation, which supports Louisville’s public parks and community programs not funded by other non-profits.

The event will be open nightly from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Saturday.

“We’ve had such huge success with Jack O’ Lantern, people began asking about the possibility of a winter event. Eventually, it just made sense,” said Brooke Pardue, CEO of the Louisville Parks Foundation. “These events are a lot of work, but they allow us to raise much-needed funds, while providing guests with an incredible experience. We know people will enjoy the show even more knowing a portion of every ticket sold is invested right back in our public parks.”

Mayor Greg Fischer said he is excited about the new holiday event.

“I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us with the Winter Woods Spectacular,” Fischer said.

Ticket pricing for the event:

$25 Car/SUV/Van

$75 Passenger Van

$5 (per occupant) Tour Bus
