Midnight at 7

The Midnight at 7 New Years Eve event will be held Monday, December 31, from 5–7 p.m., ending with fireworks at 7 p.m.


Midnight at 7 includes walks through the animated light displays, with gates opening at 5 p.m. Enjoy the toasty bonfire, food, music, party favors, face painting and more! The last admission into the course will be at 6:30 p.m. No need to keep the little ones up until midnight – the fireworks display is at 7 pm. The event will take place rain, snow or shine. This year, Midnight at 7 marks the official start of the hospital’s 40th anniversary.


Symphony of Lights features more than 70 larger-than-life animated and stationary holiday light creations, made up of 250,000 bulbs. Visitors of all ages will be dazzled by the fantasy of color, design and animation as they take a 1.4-mile walk through a series of grand illuminated displays set against a natural wooded backdrop.
