A family tradition in Hamilton for decades, this light show at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum is back with festive displays and plenty of holiday cheer.
One of greater Cincinnati’s favorite holiday traditions is back, lighting up the night in Hamilton once again.
Celebrating 25 years in 2024, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum returns Nov. 15 with the annual Pyramid Hill Lights. This display covers 75 acres of the sculpture park in a drive-through light show experience featuring more than 1 million glowing bulbs. A shining display such as this doesn’t come together in just a few weeks at the end of the fall season, it takes months of work from the Pyramid Hill team, who have been at work on the displays since August.
“It is a full team effort to put on the lights every year and we love that we can be part of long-standing family traditions,” Sarah Templeton Wilson, executive director of Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum, said in an October press release.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pyramid Hill Lights, visitors can enjoy a new driving route for viewing the lights, which includes beloved displays along with the return of a fan favorite: the Bombshells of Cincinnati yarn bombing. This local groups decorates the candy cane lane section of the display with oodles of yarn to create peppermint decorations in the trees.
For the first time, Pyramid Hill Lights is offering a prepay option in 2024 so that entry to the park is faster for viewing the displays, which also include projections from local artist Doug Borntrager as one more addition that unites art with the holidays this season.
“We’re thrilled to mark this milestone anniversary,” Templeton Wilson said in the release. “With the new route and exciting changes, this year’s show honors our past while offering something fresh for both new and returning visitors.”
The drive-through light experience is open Nov. 15 through Jan. 5 on Tuesdays through Sundays, excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas. Entrance to the lights is $25 per car, or $15 per car for members of Pyramid Hill.
