Lightopia Is Coming To Hillsboro Stadium

Tours start on the 30-minute mark each hour: 5:30; 6:30; 7:30; 8:30; and 9:30 (Fridays and Saturdays only).

Winter Village ice rink is canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a hard decision to make, but in the end we just did not feel that we could safely host the event in a way that would make sense for the Community and the City.

However, we are excited to announce a new event – Lightopia!

An Illuminated Journey, a brand-new family holiday experience at the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex, is open Friday, November 27 through Saturday, January 30.

This brilliant 1/3 of a mile drive-through attraction features thousands of feet of lights and includes seasonal light vignettes ranging from funny and familiar (think: Santa’s elves) to dazzling that will delight folks young and old. Your Lightopia passage will include a free treat, a 30-minute drive through the route, and a concurrent audio program timed to the light display (must have a working FM car radio).

This event is free and open to all. We encourage you to bring an item to donate for the Hillsboro Firefighters Random Acts of Kindness and Hillsboro Elks Lodge “Toy & Joy” holiday toy drive from November 27 – December 10 or nonperishable food donation for our local food banks from December 11 – January 30.
