Each year, Paducah Power System sponsors a magnificent display of Christmas lights in Paducah’s Noble Park. A half million twinkling bulbs illuminate the park between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day each holiday season. Thousands of people visit the event, making it a holiday favorite for people of all ages.

Community volunteers man the Santa House at the park, collecting donations of money and nonperishable food for area helping agencies. All donations from Christmas in the Park activities go to Paducah Cooperative Ministry, Family Service Society, the Salvation Army and St. Vincent DePaul Society.

In recent years, a significant portion of the proceeds have come from the annual School Challenge which involves local school districts. During the School Challenge, schools in Paducah/McCracken County compete against each other by collecting canned goods. The school that collects the most pounds of food per student wins $1,000.

The 2025 event kicks off Wednesday, November 26 and will run, nightly, through December 31. We will start taking reservations September 2 for volunteer groups to work at the Santa House during this year’s event.

It's the most wonderful time...of the year! Starting November 27 and running thru January 1, Central Park will be lit up nightly from 5:00 PM - 10:00 PM with the The Murray Bank Festival of Lights!

As in years past, we encourage you to bring five canned goods for your admission, which will be donated to Murray Calloway Need Line.
