Tour de Lights increases in popularity each year and for the first time, we are offering two opportunities to participate this year: Family Night & Fitness Night.

Saturday, November 17th is FAMILY NIGHT. Come out by yourself, with your family or put together a group to walk, bike or stroll through Jolly Holiday Lights. The event starts and ends in Water Works Park with check-in at 4:30 p.m. near Santa's Wish Shop (Water Works Park Shelter). Routes of 1.5 and 3.5 miles begin at 5:30 p.m.

Sunday, November 18th is FITNESS NIGHT. Bicyclists and other more serious athletes are encouraged to come out on Sunday to enjoy Jolly Holiday Lights. Bicyclists or skaters can start El Bait Shop downtown and use the trails to get to Water Works Park for an 11 mile loop. For a shorter route or a run, check-in at Water Works Park for a 1.5 or 3.5 mile loop. Check-in at both locations is at 4:30 with a 5:30 p.m. start. The park will close at 8:00 p.m.

Both nights feature contests for Best Lit/Decorated Bike, Best Costume and Best Dog Costume (Dogs allowed on leashes only). Judging for the contests begins at 5:15 p.m. Registration fees are $7. On-line registration available through November 16th at www.tourdelights.kintera.org or contact Make-A-Wish Iowa's offices at (515) 334-2636. Use discount code Save2 to take $2 off your registration!
