Amaze Light Festival, an attraction-based celebration centering around immersive illuminated decorations, is taking visitors on a magical storybook experience at Citi Field in Flushing this holiday season.
The exclusive U.S. distributor for leading light design and decor manufacturer, LeBlanc Illuminations, is brightening this one-of-a-kind, inclusive display this holiday season. A new family tradition and holiday destination, Amaze Light Festival is an unforgettable spectacle for guests of all ages.
In 2021, the Artistic Holiday Designs team partnered with Leblanc Illuminations as their exclusive U.S. distributor to create the first-ever Amaze Light Festival in Rosemont, Chicago. The festival, identifiable and unique in many ways, is the country’s largest light show. It officially opened on Nov. 22 and will run through Jan. 7, 2023, at Citi Field.
Amaze Light Festival takes visitors on a luminous holiday adventure where storybook characters Zing and Sparky guide them throughout the mesmerizing festive decor and five interactive holiday-themed worlds.
Festivalgoers can enjoy outdoor holiday activities at this unique immersive experience with five thematic displays to explore and photo opportunities around every corner. Guests journey through a custom interactive oasis including the North Pole, Land of Sweets and a Whimsical Forest with the option to take a ride down Zing’s Thrill Hill where glittering willow trees and reindeers light the way.
Attendees can enjoy a blend of live, high-energy performances every two hours and the country’s largest animated light display with a mega light show every 30 minutes.
Guests will also be able to enjoy an array of sweet and savory dishes and festive beverages including baked goods, hot cocoa, savory plates, sweet dishes and crafted cocktails. The cheerful atmosphere is a sprawling fest with German-style cottages housing goodies and featuring local small business and unique gifts in the Amaze Market.
Additional highlights include the candy-fueled Sparky’s Sweet Spot and Zing’s Toyporium, a larger-than-life toy store complete with Zing’s Buddy Builder, a charity-focused interactive toy machine. This bright and colorful machine gives holiday enthusiasts the opportunity to donate to Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, Hurricane Ian Relief (American Red Cross) or Toys for Tots by simply pressing a button and watching the magic happen. Participants will have the option to choose one charity and with this charitable contribution program, Amaze Light Festival will donate $1 for each participant throughout the festival duration.
Certain to delight holiday enthusiasts, attendees in Citi Field are able to take festive rides on the Arctic Express Train and enjoy the smell of fresh pine in the enchanted Tree Farm.
