Knoebels Amusement Resort has officially turned on the lights for its annual holiday drive-through spectacular, Joy Through the Grove, now open nightly from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m. through December 31, excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
The beloved winter tradition invites families to enjoy more than 500 illuminated pieces along a dazzling two-mile path filled with color, nostalgia, and festive cheer.
This year’s display features countless twinkling lights, themed vignettes, and custom Knoebels-inspired creations, including scenes of iconic rides and whimsical characters. The experience begins in the park’s main parking lot, where guests can shop for souvenirs and indulge in classic Knoebels treats such as fudge, cotton candy, and caramel corn before heading down the beautifully lit boulevard and into the glowing campground.
