Wappapello Lake – The 22nd Annual Festival of Lights Christmas Auto Tour will be held in the Redman Creek East Campground at Wappapello Lake. The event is scheduled to begin November 28, 2014, and will run through December 28, 2014. The Festival of Lights will be open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights from dusk until 9 p.m. until December 19, when it opens on a nightly basis until closing on December 28. This event is held in partnership with the Wappapello Lions Club and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers at Wappapello Lake. With the help of local businesses, volunteers, churches, and other organizations within the community, it is speculated that this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever.
Those wishing to take part in this year’s event are encouraged to contact the Wappapello Lake Project Office and register for a campsite to decorate. Campsites are free of charge and all electricity is free. Decorators can begin their work starting on November 8 and are asked to have it completed by November 28 at 5 p.m.
With your help we can make the 22nd Annual Festival of Lights Auto Tour the best it has ever been. Make plans to be a part of this year’s event. If you have questions or comments, please call the Wappapello Lake Project Office at 573-222-8562 and ask to talk to Park Ranger John Daves.
