Christmas may be over, but there’s still a week left to experience Christmas at Panther Creek, one of the area’s biggest and brightest holiday light displays. The display will remain open through January 2, and the park will be open nightly from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for viewing of the lights.
The event, launched in 2003, consists of a 1.15-mile lighted driving tour with more than 50 displays and 500,000 lights.
Admission is $5 per vehicle (cash only) and supports five Daviess County nonprofit organizations. The 2022 recipients are: Wendell Foster, Joe Ford Nature Center, Southern Oaks Elementary PTO, Elite SAR Training, and Owensboro Regional Recovery.
Panther Creek Park is located at 5160 Wayne Bridge Road.
More than $38,000 was raised through last season’s Christmas at Panther Creek, the second-highest amount ever generated from the event. A record amount of $49,300 was raised in 2020, while the prior record was set the year before with $20,840.
