Kiwanis Holiday Lights — Local services in Mankato

This year, we had the pleasure of driving through the Kiwanis Holiday Lights display in our Mini-T Campervan, and it was nothing short of amazing! The dazzling light displays, festive music, and cheerful holiday spirit made this a truly memorable experience for us. It's incredible to see a community come together to create such a magical event, and even better, it's all for a great cause.

One of the things we loved most about this event is its mission. Kiwanis Holiday Lights accepts food and monetary donations, all of which go toward supporting local organizations and those in need. It's heartwarming to know that while you're enjoying the beauty of the lights, you're also helping make a positive impact in the community.

The drive-through setup was perfect for our Mini-T Campervan. We appreciated the smooth flow of traffic and how well-organized everything was. The layout allowed us to take in every glowing display at a leisurely pace, and the warmth of the van added an extra layer of coziness to the experience.

If you're looking for a way to celebrate the holiday season, support a meaningful cause, and enjoy an unforgettable evening, we highly recommend visiting Kiwanis Holiday Lights. Whether you're in a Mini-T Campervan like us or your own vehicle, it's an experience that will leave you smiling and full of holiday cheer. Don’t forget to bring some non-perishable food or a donation to contribute—it's a small gesture that...

All of the streets in the entire surrounding area will be bumper to bumper with traffic, and the streets here are not designed to accommodate this type of traffic, with parking available on both sides of the street, there is no room for both lanes to move, often times ending in a deadlock with 10 cars on both sides stuck and unable to move, they have officers there to try to resolve that, but they can't be everywhere. At around 7:30 parking seemed to open way up, traffic subsided greatly and it was a much more...

Wonderfully done. Absolutely wonderful. Some cars driving thru didn't turn off thier headlights which distracts from the Christmas lights. When I mentioned this to volunteers, they said some cars have lights that won't turn off which is true but many of the cars we saw were definitely vehicles that can turn off their lights. A suggestion would be to have more communication with cars to shut off their lights and if they can't, then the kiwanis provides covers that can be removed when leaving the park, since the entrance and exit are at the same location. 100% awesome job of kiwanis and volunteers. 30% mediocre job of drivers turning off...
