About a dozen hot air balloons will illuminate the winter night sky at the same time Light Up Middletown kicks off for the holiday season. Light Up Middletown is a drive-through fantasy light display. Enter via Christmas Tree Lane, through a 40 foot tunnel of lights, around the reflecting pool with floating swans, under the leaping deer and visit the penguin village and butterfly forest. Special events throughout the season include the Hot Air Balloon Glow on December 5 and weekend visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus in the historic Lock Tender’s House Museum inside the park. The display expands each year to include new and unusual animated groups. Proceeds from the donations go to improve Middletown Parks.
